[Live-demo] Should we hand out OSGeo-Live on USBs at FOSS4G?

[Cameron Shorter]

Daniel,
Determining who gets a USB stick is not a matter of money, but rather 
the level of testing and a high level confidence from us that the USB 
will work for every person we give it to.

If we can get 30+ test cases of the USB stick working without issue, 
across a wide variety of computer hardware, we give the go ahead to use 
a USB. Otherwise we will stick with the safe option of a DVD (which is 
my preference).
