The GIS In Action conference is co-sponsoring to the extent of a
complimentary booth that would otherwise cost $450.  We are also getting
space the following day for the PDX-OSGeo unconference (I'm not exactly
sure how that is being sponsored).  The general sentiment was that branded
USBs make a better impression than DVDs.  If we count booth and
unconference space sponsorship, then we could get to some number like
$80+match-to-booth-and-unconference-space and spend it on USBs.  I know
that may be stretching the intended 'matching funding' definition.

We have a booth, PDX-OSGeo members will be presenting on a variety of
projects covering at least QGIS, OpenLayers, and others.  PDX-OSGeo members
were also involved in the conference planning so that there is a
substantial Open Source track.  Also, there is an PDX-OSGeo unconference
the following day.  Yes, it qualifies.

We have what I call an OSGeo 'pop up banner' (I think this is the same
thing as a 'top up').  To complete the Exhibition pack we would need some
shirts and a table runner (maybe a table cloth too).  I think that our pop
up banner might have used about $300 of the $500 but am not sure how that
actually panned out.

Great idea.

Thanks, Eli
