yes. Godd iedea. And maybe we should order many of them and ship them 
around the word to provide the local chapters with material.

Marc you should have the information
* roll-up
* osgeo table cloth
* OSgeo banner
* brochure
* sticker

we printed for INTERGEO f.e.

a) 500 OSGeo Sticker Outdoor -> +-100 Euro
(140g hochwertiger Qualitätsdruck auf weißer Vinylfolie veredelt mit 
witterungsbeständiger Schutzfolie matt)

b) Flyer A4 200 ->  +-20 EUR

The ordering gets cheaper when you order more. I have a good address, 
where we can order material in Germany.

Maybe the translation of the brochure should be done by the local 
chapters themselves. It seam to me that the sometime the translation of 
the technical text is very tricky and can be missunderstanding if you 
are not into the topic.

A contract with Get Interactive to layout the result sounds very good.

Yes would be great to go for it in 2018 with all our great new material. 
I would like to put energy in this topic in the next time. Brian from 
OSGeo-Live team will help with the USB sticks.

A generous for this for 2018 would be grat. Maybe we can give 
osgeo-in-a-box packages to delegates in march when many people meet in 
Bonn for OSgeo Code sprint.

I could do printing in Germany for sticker & more.

Maybe we should make a list of the events that could be interesting.
* looks like annual INTERGEO is one of them (For INTERGEO we can take 
the budget of FOSSGIS e.V. and do not need more money from OSGeo).
