If we can give away OSGeoLive USBs to all delegates it will be a great boost for OSGeo Promotion and outreach at this key event. Many people in the geography community are not aware of the excellent resource like OSGeo-Live.

The sponsor organisation can have thier logo in the USB. We can then extend this idea for future conferences for OSGeo Live USBs promotion.

That said, they were a very useful tool to share with our workshops and to new users who were able to get them to work.
