Yes, Paul, OSGeo-Live 5.5 will be ready at the beginning of March 2012 
and is being used at a number of European FOSS4G events as well.

As we get close to the event, we'd like input into whether you would 
have USBs or DVDs.
USBs are better as they load and run faster, but they cost more money.

I'm also looking for a volunteer contact person who is attending the 
conference and can coordinate with a local printer and ensure the 
DVDs/USB as delivered to the conference.
