Hi All,

Is it possible to email me details of OSGeo Live USB suppliers please? Is there anyone in the marketing committee who is the main contact point for getting OSGeo Live USBs? Many thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Thanks Marc. Will it be possible to email me the details of the Dutch supplier. I would like to contact suppliers who can provide USBs with the latest version of OSGeo Live  loaded ,checked and delivered for  AgriGIS workshops that we run.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Suchith,

For Foss4g Bonn we had the logos printed of OSGeo Live and OSGeo on either side of the USB stick. A little more costly, but worthwhile for our image. With the new logos developed it would provide a great opportunity to use them this way.

A Dutch supplier and Astrid and a team in Bonn put the files unto them later on.

Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

If anyone has ideas of reliable USB suppliers for OSGeo Live please let me know and also update in the documentation so those interested to procure these can contact them.

For example, many in the Agriculture community who use GIS are not even aware of this resource. I am in the process of adding the links of key OSGeo resources in GODAN and other key Agriculture community websites , so we get more outreach and impact. We need to reach out and engage with new communities proactively.
