[Marketing] USB Sticks with OSGeoLive for FOSS4G 2019

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

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.

Astrid
