OSGeoLive folks,
An OSGeoLive USB is high on the swag wish list for the upcoming
FOSS4G-Oceania conference. We have a question below about whether we
can fit extra data on the USB (I suspect a 8 Gig or 32 Gig USB). I
know it has been done in the past, but am also aware that creating
bootable USBs quite an art.
I ordered 16GB sticks with USB 3.0 at flashbay. There are quite good.
https://www.flashbay.de/usb-sticks
I have experience with twitter and kinetic - they are both fine.
The production with dd was ok but we spend a long time on it.
So maybe in your case it would make sense to ask the usb-provider to add
the data directly on the stick.
How many sticks do you want to produce?
Please tell the workshop presenter to link their workshop material here:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Live_GIS_Workshop_Install
Astrid, I think you have recently created USBs? Do you have any advice
to pass on (ideally collected in a wiki so we can share with others).
There is this Wiki page already:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive_Quickstart_USB
Shall we move it to trac-wiki?
Maybe you should use the final 12.0 iso and add you data.
Ben, Brian, Alex, Angelos, you have also provided good advice on this
in the past and might be able to chip in.
Astrid
Cheers, Cameron

Re: USB stick, thanks Greg. There's an action item from a couple of
meetings ago for you to follow up on that idea, with some idea of
cost & effort involved, can you chase these details up and let us
know what you find out?
If we can get an agency to pay for it, sounds great to me. We might
need to discuss though, there has been some resistance in this group
against sponsorship of specific initiatives, because of potential
unfairness to sponsors we already have on board, who haven't had the
opportunity to do so. But I don't think this is irreconcilable -
just need to have a proposal on the table I think, for proper
context for that discussion.
Question - can you technically put both the OSGeoLive and additional
content on one USB?
Thanks
John

+1 for USB stick with OSGeoLive + data. (Disclaimer, I have a soft
spot for OSGeoLive as I'm one of the people behind the project).

We talked briefly at last meeting about USB stick? My thoughst we
could put OSGeo-Live VM on there plus a open data form each state. A
few years ago I got a USB stick from someone in Victoria who had
bundled all the VIC open data into a SQLite database (geopackge now)
and created a QGIS project. Maybe replicate that for each state?
There is some cost (and time) involved but think we could get an
agency to sponsor?
Thoughts?

+1, great ideas.
The #pyconau thread had some interesting stuff going on now, incl
someone who redesigned their swag.

SUBJECT: Re: [FOSS4G-Oceania] Swag
Colouring book, could be great fun!! :) (esp if Oceania or Melbourne
specific)
I love these wearable map from splashmap [1]. and could be really
fun swag for a geo conference - we'd have to still design it
obviously... but probably this is not possible as too pricey
(although we could explore costs for batch cost). But not sure would
anyone actually use it ... actually if it was Melbourne specific I
think they would, people could draw on it...and we can mark the
relevant buildings - we might need to provide a wash-off-able
(logo'd perhaps) pen too! We could continue this with fun social
media posts of people using their maps around the city!
A tea towel is at least useful! and could be very cool if we have a
really great design.... Could we run a tea-towel design competition?
i.e. Using open data and open software design a map for our
"FOSS4G-Oceania" merchandise (merc as this could go even beyond tea
towels to posters or flyers if we wanted). I think this could be fun
and could create some buzz in the community before the conference
... I imagine we could get some great entries even from outside the
immediate community. And then it goes to public vote, or we (I) can
probably get some people together as a panel of data vis
/cartography / design experts to critic and shortlist them first? we
could hae even different designs and people get them at random - we
might see some swaps...
Bookmarks could be nice, although I rarely use them myself. Whilst I
like the idea of giving books to go with them but it seems expensive
and difficult to give people books relevant to them and I think we
will end up with lots being left behind partly as they weigh luggage
down! It still might be nice to have some relevant books available
to win if we have money available - maybe a collection of different
ones and the draw happens in the few days before the conference...
Everyone with a ticket gets the chance to win and then they choose a
book relevant to them when they get there (first come first serve on
choice). (If people don't want a book then we get to re-draw for
prize winners).

I’m still super keen on tea towels! Maybe I’m a bit of an old
man, but I could always use of tea towels and having one that
reminds me of our conference would be great!
If someone can design a nice tea towel using OpenStreetMap data and
the conference logo, I think it would make a good speaker gift.
It's a bit jarring to me as an item that we put the Platinum
sponsors logos on though.
