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

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Cameron, and All,

FYI the 30$ is for wire fees which is the preferred method for 
international payments.

For payments in USA and Canada which would the the case for PDX then I 
can mail a check and the cost is more in the range of 2$ (stamp + check 
costs).
