Hi Venkatesh,
The specific pointer to the brochures is:
https://visibilitycommittee.osgeo.org/files/documents/18/210/ 
OSGeo_Brochures_v1_PDF.zip

There is one PDF in there for each of the 10 projects, and then a  
consolidated PDF with a separate page for each project (for easy  
printing of all of them quickly).

And for an overview brochure...

OSGeo_Overview.pdf

You are correct.  For both Where 2.0 and OSCON, Autodesk marketing  
helped make it happen.  At Where 2.0 we only did about 75 of each,  
and had left overs.  We have done something similar for OSCON.

The visibility committee can help, in a limited way, keep track of  
these things for you.  I would like to start gathering a list of  
potential attendees and presenters using the wiki.

I'm glad to see some discussions have at least started so that we can  
all work together to support this event.

All the best to you,
Tyler
