OSGeo Marketing:
I propose we approve the spending of up to:
$100 for consumables
$200 for non consumables
+1 from me.
Elli,
As you deadline is fast approaching, I'll make a call as Marketing chair on what is in and out of scope based on what I think we can afford if applied to all expected requests for funding:
As you have explained, this conference definitely qualifies as an event promoting OSGeo in that OSGeo is being provided a booth for free, and speaking slots on OSGeo topics.
Also, there doesn't seem to be direct matching funds for printing costs, so I suggest OSGeo should pay: ($2 per DVD) * (10% * 400 delegates) + ($20 to round up) = $100. You may use this for printing of DVDs or USBs or printed material. Your choice.
For non consumable items, a table runner is not covered (we suggest using a simple table cloth from home instead). Shirts and literature stand is covered. I'm comfortable with approving $200 toward non-consumables (as I you explain that your chapter has spent $300 of your $500).

Hi Cameron, and All,
FYI the 30$ is for wire fees which is the preferred method for
international payments.
For payments in USA and Canada which would the the case for PDX
then I can mail a check and the cost is more in the range of 2$
(stamp + check costs).

Eli,
Great to see you pushing this forward. I see that you have a
very tight
timeline and at the moment, the OSGeo Marketing Committee hasn't
resolved our issue of micro payments. (It costs OSGeo $30 to
make a
payment).
We have an outstanding proposal that funding can be requested
for $2 DVD
for 10% of attendees, for legitimate events. (That would be
$80 for
consumables).
More can be requested if you have matching funding. Do you have a
co-sponsor?

The GIS In Action conference is co-sponsoring to the extent of a complimentary booth that would otherwise cost $450. We are also getting space the following day for the PDX-OSGeo unconference (I'm not exactly sure how that is being sponsored). The general sentiment was that branded USBs make a better impression than DVDs. If we count booth and unconference space sponsorship, then we could get to some number like $80+match-to-booth-and-unconference-space and spend it on USBs. I know that may be stretching the intended 'matching funding' definition.
A legitimate event would be one which has been given an OSGeo
Booth,
and/or has someone presenting on OSGeo projects. Does this
conference
qualify?
We have a booth, PDX-OSGeo members will be presenting on a variety of projects covering at least QGIS, OpenLayers, and others. PDX-OSGeo members were also involved in the conference planning so that there is a substantial Open Source track. Also, there is an PDX-OSGeo unconference the following day. Yes, it qualifies.
We could also pay up to $500 once off payment for
non-consumables for a
local chapter.

We haven't discussed top ups, maybe $50 to $100 would be in order.
We have what I call an OSGeo 'pop up banner' (I think this is the same thing as a 'top up'). To complete the Exhibition pack we would need some shirts and a table runner (maybe a table cloth too). I think that our pop up banner might have used about $300 of the $500 but am not sure how that actually panned out.
In parallel with this email thread, I'd like to rekindle our
discussion
and set a final policy for determining how the OSGeo Marketing
committee
should hand out our $10K budget.
Great idea.
Thanks, Eli

The PDX-OSGeo chapter will have a booth at the upcoming (April
30th-May 1) GIS In Action conference in Portland, Oregon
(a $450
in-kind contribution from the conference). We would like
to distribute
OSGeo Live on USBs and DVDs. There will be roughly 400
conference
attendees.
We already have a pop-up banner but need a table runner
with OSGeo
logo, OSGeo shirts, and OSGeo Live USBs and DVDs. We are also
interested in printed material about OSGeo projects and
OSGeo, that I
think is more an issue of the files than the printing
(since someone
will probably provide printing).
Any recommendations for a source for the table runner? Is
the OSGeo
cafepress store the source for shirts? What is the best
source for
the DVDs (is it already available at some vendors)?
Branders.com has been recommended as one source for USBs
with printed
logos, It appears as if 50 4GB drives with logo would
cost roughly
$450. Are there other recommendations for USB sources?
Any that have
a good track record for bootable USBs?
Other than writing this list, what is the process to
request marketing
funds?
Thanks, Eli
