Hi Suchith -- from the OSGeoLive side, Astrid and I are thinking
about this now, and possibly others.. The USB storage devices are
plentiful and increasing in capacity. Shopping is always a matter for
several factors, like price, shipping and return policy.
The hard part is.. that the USB device "boot" capabilities are not
at all as reliable as the DVD form factor used to be.
In Boston, we shipped a storage device with a VirtualMachine disk
image, and not as 'bootable'.
What is your time frame for purchasing ? We can go to private mail
or IRC with the details if is it convenient.
best regards from Berkeley, California

Thanks Marc. Will it be possible to email me the details of the Dutch
supplier. I would like to contact suppliers who can provide USBs with
the latest version of OSGeo Live loaded ,checked and delivered for
AgriGIS workshops that we run.
Best wishes,

Hi Suchith,
For Foss4g Bonn we had the logos printed of OSGeo Live and OSGeo on
either side of the USB stick. A little more costly, but worthwhile for
our image. With the new logos developed it would provide a great
opportunity to use them this way.
A Dutch supplier and Astrid and a team in Bonn put the files unto them
later on.
Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

Thanks Johan, Cameron for confirming this. I will inform the supplier
on this . I will need to find which supplier can provide bulk OSGeo
Live USBs. If anyone has ideas of reliable USB suppliers for OSGeo
Live please let me know and also update in the documentation so those
interested to procure these can contact them.
I believe OSGeo Live is a great resource for our outreach aims and I
am determined to get this to new communities. For example, many in
the Agriculture community who use GIS are not even aware of this
resource. I am in the process of adding the links of key OSGeo
resources in GODAN and other key Agriculture community websites , so
we get more outreach and impact. We need to reach out and engage with
new communities proactively.
Thank you everyone for your prompt help and advice on this.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Johan's right, I haven't heard of anyone printing OSGeo-Live DVDs for a
few years now. OSGeo-Live is either being run in a Virtual Machine or
from a USB.
(We probably should be updating our documentation to reflect this).

Suchith,
I am actually not a fan of putting OSGeo live on a dvd. The
performance is very poor for todays standards, and many pc's don't
have a dvd anymore.
Has anyone actually tried running OSGeo live 11 from dvd? I would
definitely try this with some common applications before printing a
large number.
Kind Regards,
Johan

Thanks Steven, Jo for informing. I am as first step doing OSGeo
Live DVDs (2000 nos) and then only plan to get USBs. I have
contacted the same supplier that Jo mentioned who supplied FOSS4G
2013 DVDs, so they should have experience on this . I have asked
them to download from the correct ISO that Brian specified and
check one before mass producing.
btw can anyone let me know where to find the OSGeo Live 11.0
artwork so I can make use of it for the logo printing in DVDs.
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Might be a good idea to trial and test before producing a lot of USBs

Hi Suchith,
There seem to be options for downloading 32bit or 64bit isos. I'm
honestly not sure which would be best- personally I'd go for 32bit
to ensure maximum coverage, eg so that it works on old machines but
others may have a different opinion.

Hi Jo, all,
Many thanks for the contacts for this. I have contacted the DVD
supplier for this and to download from
https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html and got query back "The
link has multi options for downloading ISO files and it's not 100%
clear what link I should use for the ISO"
Could someone help me provide the correct link, so I can reply to
the supplier so they can download the correct version . Thanks.

Hi Suchith,
It took a while for me to dig out this information, but this is the
company that we used for FOSS4G 2013:
http://www.vponline.co.uk/quote.html
Total cost for 800 units - DVD - in clear plastic wallet
* Inkjet colour = £290
* Inject colour with waterproof coating = £520
* Thermal colour = £636
For reliable USB drives, at Astun we use a company called USB2U and
we go for this model:
Twister USB 3.0 Flash Drive 8GB - White
These seem to come in at around £4.12 per item but I don't know
how many we buy at a time to get that rate.
Hope that helps
Jo

Hi all,
This is a request for help. I am discussing ideas with GODAN
colleagues on how to expand ideas for AgriGIS Capacity Development
and I have put forward suggestion to provide OSGeo Live USBs/DVDs
for the training programs etc. This will ensure the participants
have in addition to the training all the free and open geo tools
and sample open geodata to take away and be empowered.
I remember some years back for OSGIS conferences in Nottingham, I
arranged OSGeoLive DVDs but I don’t now remember details of the
suppliers. Could I request if you have contacts of reliable
suppliers (ideally in the UK), that I can contact to get quotes for
bulk suppliers on the price of the flash drives (8GB) and DVDs with
OSGeoLive and GODAN logos and all content loaded (download from
https://live.osgeo.org/en/download.html ) and checked for all
USBs/DVDs supplied.
I hope once we do this for few training programs we will be able to
expand the idea for the future. Please email me at
suchith.an...@godan.info<mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info><mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info<mailto:suchith.an...@godan.info>> the contact details of USB/DVD suppliers who can do this, so I can request quotes. Thanks in advance for your
help.
Best wishes,
Suchith
