[Live-demo] Funding of LiveDVD/USB for conferences.

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Alex,

I have a local supplier already identified, and they are willing to test before production on DVD/USB creation.

Ok, so much for getting any more funds out of the OSGEO side, but I'll copy the marketing list anyway and see what happens.

Thanks for the pointer to the Marketing list.

Bobb
