[OSGeoLive] Fwd: OSGeo Budget 2019 for projects.

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm really hopeful that we'll see some people follow through with 
creating a "OSGeoLive in the Cloud" instance which could be spun up and 
used during training sessions. (This could be a great Google Season of 
Code topic). I think this could be done with free developer AWS 
instances, but it would be good to have access to budget if required to 
support a first deployment.

Also, it would be good to have discretionary funding to pay for 
OSGeoLive USBs for conferences that ask for it during the year. Maybe do 
a print run of 500 to 1000 USBs (That would be 50 to 100 USBs at an 
OSGeo table at a conference/workshop/code sprint, for 10 to 20 events).
