Thanks for the feedback Nicolas and Astrid.
Extra question from Martin below.
I'm looping in answers from 2 lists as I suspect these answers were not
seen by all who are interested.

Any chance the usbs can be usb C compatible? Many people do no longer

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:

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.
