Bob,
The process for adding OSGeo-Live at an event is explained here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Including_OSGeo-Live_at_your_event
At this point, we don't have OSGeo budget set aside for printing, but
rather each event needs to find a way to pay for DVD/USB printing.
Peter Baumann has mentioned part sponsoring USBs for foss4g. Peter, I'd
be interested to explore how you would like to work this offer into a
process that people can follow for the many other events osgeo-live is
present at.

All,
So, where do requests for funding go to for LiveDVD creation for conferences?
I've just been tapped to research this aspect for the FOSS4GNA conference in
Minneapolis this spring?
Also, is there a chance that the 8GB USB Stick version of things might be in
place sometime soon, or should I forget about that entirely for this event.
Thanks
Bobb
The USB stick version is the same ISO as the DVD just made into a
bootable usb. We have a schedule to finish 6.5 by Mid February well in
time for Foss4gNA. The trickiest part about usb sticks is finding a
vendor in the US who can actually make them bootable - we failed in
Denver and I spent the week (with volunteers) re-doing all of them.
I can provide you with the companies we have used in the past for DVDs
and USBs.
OSGeo does not usually pay for DVDs or USB sticks for conferences,
especially not a FOSS4G where it ought to come from the admission fee.
Marketing committee is the place to discuss.
Thanks,
Alex
