The suggestion from OSGeo-Live IRC discussion (A couple weeks ago) was to do 4 GB usb.they are at least $1 less per stick, also additional price breaks generally kick in at 500 units. At 500 units, ~$5 each, thats $500 savings, or 100 more devices.
We also had the suggestion of combining FOSS4G logo with OSGeo-live text on one side (Or just 2 lines of text), and trying to find a sponsor who wants their logo on the 2nd side in exchange for paying for at least 1/2 the sticks (so that every attendee gets one). In terms of data pre-load, our discussion had brought up a different idea from the past: To include a 7z of the virtual machine variant (or iso) + 7zip for all platforms + virtual box for all platforms. This differs from previous years where the USB device was bootable (doesn't work on Macs) The order likely needs 2-3 weeks lead time before the delivery date. So needs to be ordered between Aug 18-25 Having 300 at the table is tough to figure out who should get one.
