[Marketing] Marketing budget FOSS4G 2008

[Cameron Shorter]

I understand that Tim has found somewhere in South Africa to do the 
printing. Not sure where.

With regards to numbers of DVDs printed. Echo's Tim's comments:

* We see this as an experiment.
* There will be 500 people at the conference, most OSGeo types will be 
able to download the DVDs off the internet, to we are mainly targeting 
local users. I'm guessing local attendance will be ~ half, or 250.
If we have the budget, a print run of 200 would be good, but if we are 
treating as an experiment, 100 should suffice.

What is the process for getting sign off on the budget?
