Hello Peter,
thanks for your feedback.
Good idea to order a larger print run. I will checkout what is possible.
The idea to let the provider already put OSGeoLive directly on the
sticks sounds good. But I do not know whether OSGeoLive is ready in time
to get this done. We could try.
Shall we do a motion like fror the youtube account., Or shall I go ahead
as it is already listed in the budget.
