Re questions about schedule, the OSGeo-Live schedule is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0
You will notice that we try to list upcoming FOSS4G events which will be
using OSGeo-Live, along with a point of contact.
Please do add in any events we are missing.
Cheers, Cameron

That is cool, I might recommend including osgeo live as a VM then,
rather than as a bootable USB stick. It should also be cheaper to
order with that setup.
What is the timeframe Guido (for example when are the academic
papers available to you?)

Hey folks,
FOSS4G Boston plans on creating USB sticks for all the
workshop attendees and potentially for all the conference
attendees. We want create a OSGeo Live USB, but we also need
to include academic papers from our conference. We plan on
paying for these ourselves.
I have expressed interest in helping others by adding our
order to others in order to bring the cost down, but at this
point I think we are now needing something special and our
order is going to be on our own. That said, if anyone can
recommend a provider for USB sticks I am all ears and
appreciate the help.

Brian and Guido:
Chatting with Marc about marketing budget and trying to
see what events we can ask the marketing committee to support.
When you say "we will be printing some kind of USB storage
with branding" is that:
a) The OSGeo Live project (does it have budget for printing).
b) The marketing committee printing (should we balance
need for new booth with USB printing)
Guido has expressed interest in having USB sticks at
FOSS4G Boston. Gérald has expressed interest in having
sticks at FOSS4G Europe. I am not sure if either of these
two events has budget to work with or not?

So - USB Sticks
TL;DR
I am hesitant to recommend building Boot USBs at this
time.. It will take at least one test printing before
committing to a run, if
and when we do.
We can print USBs, probably a majority of people who
receive them will be able to boot a laptop,
others will need to use an ISO in Virtual Box or
similar. FYI
-
The USB Sticks format is not the same animal as the
DVD was.. We made many DVDs and handed them out, over
several versions.. the
process was reliable,
the options clear and the pricing competitive,, We
screen printed the
DVDs, bought commodity covers,
and the product could be built in a timely way by one
of several vendors..
The USB Sticks are not the same.. We have not made
many runs of them..
Technically, I am finding that there are at least
two challenges.. One is the UEFI-Boot and signed kernel,
and that would be the same for a DVD format.. but the
Second is .. that
many hardware platforms now seem
to be treating USB boot as a vector for attack.. The
user may have to
choose at the BOOT BIOS level
to allow the booting, and even then it is not clear to
me that all the
details on boot are being made public. Low-cost
windows laptops and also very expensive server
motherboards
seem to both be behaving this way.
The Live has implemented a proces that should allow
the UEFI-Boot
with a signed kernel to work.. but it is hard
to get right.. the DVD in later versions suffered from
this also..

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.

Yeah that is like 1/2 our marketing budget for the

Is there a chance the conference registration fee can

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.

Gérald:
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.
