[OSGeoLive] Help needed to get info. on suppliers for OSGeoLive11.0 USBs?

Sun Nov 12 11:58:16 PST 2017

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info.  My initial plan was to get OSGeo Live 11.0 DVDs or USBs send for British Council workshop on the Strengthening Food Security through Integrated Earth Observations & Ecological Assessments of Ecosystem Services in Kenya next week.  But as I recieived info from the list  that DVDs are no longer best option and no details on OSGeo Live USB suppliers , I couldn’t arrange this. As it is now too late to arrange for this workshop, let us plan for the future .

I am aiming to get colleagues in GODAN to support my request  for sending OSGeo Live USBs for  AgriGIS workshops globally in the future, so it is good timing to plan ideas to learn details and  have a contact point so I can get quotes and order these as needed. I will email you and Astrid separately for this. Thanks .

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Suchith --  from the OSGeoLive side, Astrid and I are thinking
about this now, and possibly others.. The USB storage devices are
plentiful and increasing in capacity. Shopping is always a matter for
several factors, like price, shipping and return policy.

  The hard part is.. that the USB device "boot" capabilities are not
at all as reliable as the DVD form factor used to be.
In Boston, we shipped a storage device with a VirtualMachine disk
image, and not as 'bootable'.

  What is your time frame for purchasing ?  We can go to private mail
or IRC with the details if is it convenient.
  best regards from Berkeley, California

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,

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
