[Marketing] PDX request for Exhibition Pack and OSGeo Live DVD and USB funds

[Cameron Shorter]

Eli,
Great to see you pushing this forward. I see that you have a very tight 
timeline and at the moment, the OSGeo Marketing Committee hasn't 
resolved our issue of micro payments. (It costs OSGeo $30 to make a 
payment).

We have an outstanding proposal that funding can be requested for $2 DVD 
for 10% of attendees, for legitimate events. (That would be $80 for 
consumables).
More can be requested if you have matching funding. Do you have a 
co-sponsor?

A legitimate event would be one which has been given an OSGeo Booth, 
and/or has someone presenting on OSGeo projects. Does this conference 
qualify?

We could also pay up to $500 once off payment for non-consumables for a 
local chapter.

We haven't discussed top ups, maybe $50 to $100 would be in order.

In parallel with this email thread, I'd like to rekindle our discussion 
and set a final policy for determining how the OSGeo Marketing committee 
should hand out our $10K budget.
