Hi,
I'm wondering if it may be possible to lower further the barrier for
the less technical users that want to download sugar on a stick.
Maybe we could offer a .zip for download that can be expanded on a
bootable usb stick and just work?

This become an issue of cost effectiveness. I understand Branded USBs
are on the order of $8 a stick.
The Fedora Ambassadors tried giving away USB keys. Thye found that
they were not cost effective. The high cost per unit combined with
the low 'stick rate' made them unfeasible. I understand

Sean,
Awesome!
It looks to me like those sticks might be pretty hard to print on,
given the indentation near the cap, which cuts the printable area
