[Fenoy Gerald]

Dear Jody,
thanks again for your question.

Indeed, we would appreciate to have an OSGeo booth but none have asked until now.

All the best,

Indeed, in case OSGeo is coming to the FOSS4G-Europe with OSGeoLive USB sticks, it means that we may be able to manage the usb print on our own budget as it may cost less (as the usb stick size will decrease and the file to put on the usb stick will be easier to setup, there is no double partition anymore and so on, still I think that lower than 8go usb stick won’t be a real use to anybody).
