> ** 3. What are your thoughts on printing DVDs/USBs of OSGeo-Live?

My opinion is that the OSGeo-Live USBs are the one cool takeaway from our
events.  I still love my FOSS4G 2010 (Barcelona) one, it has the
conference logo on it and is a great token, and (unlike the junk brochures
in the conference bag that get left in the hotel room) is actually useful
for years after.

I believe we agreed on the slot at the end of the Thursday sessions,
before the Gala dinner departure.  The website has not been updated.  (for
the record here is its wiki page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2014)

Venka gave this exact talk in Bremen for his keynote.

Do we have a wiki page setup yet for the code sprint, so sprinters can
begin to 'self organize' it?  e.g.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2011_Code_Sprint

We should probably start to manage this through a wiki page (e.g.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2013_OSGeo_Booth), list materials we need
etc.  As listed there, there are at least 2 OSGeo banners floating around.
 I have no idea what the U.S.A. chapters have for materials, would be good
to setup the wiki page with what we know, and ask the Discuss list.
