Rob,

In the past we've only had 1 company in the US succeed at making
bootable usb sticks (Mixonic in S.F.). I'd be willing to entertain
another option if they are willing to try making a bootable usb and
proving that it works.

That might all be moot, if we start giving out the virtual machine image
instead. Something that needs to be discussed and decided on with the
OSGeo-Live group 1st.

FYI, we should investigate pricing of 16 GB+ drives.

PS: Maybe you can get a deal from a company if also ordering T-shirts
and Stickers...

Thanks,
Alex

Brian, Alex,
You are probably best qualified to answer this question. I'm not sure if
one of you would like to submit a presentation?

I dont have experience ordering USBs, but we use Image Outfitters for
branded merchandise (like our compasses
<https://twitter.com/azavea/status/663765732598005760>) and they also
have USBs. http://image-outfitters.com/all-products/

They are a B Corporation and donate a portion of every sale to a
nonprofit of your choice. Pretty great customer service too.

    Another great suggestion. Is there a place that is used for getting
    these USB's in bulk? Have people usually printed USB's themselves?
    I'd be curious about how it's worked in past conferences, try to get
    a budget for it, and see how it can fit in our conference
    budget/shop the idea around to the rest of the committee.

    As for the workshop, I think the best way to move forward with that
    is to have someone who is willing to run the workshop/give the talk
    make a submission via https://2016.foss4g-na.org/propose-session

    Thanks!

        Hi Rob,
        Do you anticipate using OSGeo-Live at FOSS4G-NA?

        At prior foss4g events, it has been used (usually within a VM)
        at workshops, handed out on USBs, and the OSGeo-Live
        presentation given (often by a VIP during a plenary early in the
        conference - helping delegates find which event they'd like to
        go to). In essence, the OSGeo-Live presentation is like a FOSS4G
        conference summarised into one concise talk. (We have heard that
        people often use it when going back and presenting to their
        organisations about what they learned).
