I'm looping in the OSGeo-Live list.
In particular, I suspect Brian Hamlin will have some valuable advice on
creating OSGeo-Live USBs as he has gone through this process a few times.
Brian might even be able to recommend a company to create the USBs for you.
Cheers, Cameron

Yeah that is like 1/2 our marketing budget for the year; and we are going to
have a lot of expenses ordering new booth stuff.
Is there a chance the conference registration fee can cover USB stick purchase?

Dear Jody,
thanks a lot for your answer.
I have contacted a french company that provide usb stick printing. Their
proposal is like this: for 300 USB sticks it will cost almost 2000 € when for
400 the cost will go to 2600€.
Nevertheless, I am now wondering. Indeed, from what I can remember, during the
FOSS4G in Bonn there was an OSGeo Booth that was providing the OSGeoLiveDVD USB
sticks. This may be the best option. Indeed, in case OSGeo is coming to the
FOSS4G-Europe with OSGeoLive USB sticks, it means that we may be able to manage
the usb print on our own budget as it may cost less (as the usb stick size will
decrease and the file to put on the usb stick will be easier to setup, there is
no double partition anymore and so on, still I think that lower than 8go usb
stick won’t be a real use to anybody).
I think that it would be just perfect if OSGeo can have a booth at the
FOSS4G-Europe 2017 for distributing the OSGeoLive USB stick.

To proceed we would need to get a better idea of costs involved. I know you
have a hard cap on attendees of 400 - how many sticks would you be printing and
do you have a quote we can work from?
Are we sharing this cost with the LOC? OSGeo live is bootable so it cannot
really be used to easily give people a copy of the event program (unless you
make a partition I guess).
I would like to considers USB sticks as part of our expense in attending the
event - while they are a good tool they are only one of the tools available.

Dear marketing committee,
I would like to know if it is possible for the FOSS4G-Europe 2017 LOC to ask
the OSGeo marketing committee for some fund to handle the USB stick production
to give to every attendees.
The USB stick should contains OSGeoLive and the program associated with the
event. The USB Sticks will then be used during the workshops, mainly for those
that ask attendees to come with their own computer but it may also be used in
other workshops also.
I hope to hear back from you.
Best regards,
