[Marketing] [OSGeoLive] produce OSGeoLive 12.0 sticks

[Jody Garnett]

I am happy to take part in the marketing committee, we just have been very
light on request or initiatives this year.

One thing I have wanted to do (but have not had personal capacity to
Shepard along) is round up bug reports against the new website and
organizing getting them fixed. In the mean time Vicky has been chewing
through the "mission critical" issues which is very impressive.

As for printing USB sticks the board does not have people, it has
committees. Either the osgeo live committee or the marketing committee
could take on the production of USB sticks.
