You'll have some sort of booth at the event? What kind of stuff would you like to get? I think we don't have enough time for anything too sophisticated - but I could order some brochures and small info cards if that would help - just give me a name and address for shipping them. How many would be good?
We don't have a standard way of coordinating these requests, but since we get only a few of them I think we can keep handling them ad hoc. I use a great online service for printing and shipping locally - that is for basic printing items anyway. See http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Material_Samples for a few of the things we have available - mainly the "brochure" and "sponsor" postcard. We can do a great pop-up banner too - but have to use a different print service - Fedex Kinkos works well, or anyone who can use the file we have on hand for it.
We don't make any commitment to furnish all local chapters with material, but having it available is our aim - so local chapters can get it printed somehow. Ideally, they'd raise a bit of their funds and then get a full pack of material. That would help OSGeo a lot as our budget for printing, banners, etc. is actually pretty small - especially when you roll in the 2-3 more costly booths we do each year.
Hope that helps, let me know more what your needs are.
Best wishes,
Tyler

Marketers,
A non-official local OSGeo Chapter in Portland,OR would like some OSGeo Marketing supplies. We'll be present at the OR URISA GIS In Action conference (http://www.orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action) and then immediately afterwards, be hosting an Open Source GIS unconference (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/PDX-OSGEO#Unconference_March_31st_and_April_1st.2C_2011)
CUGOS is willing to share some of their marketing materials dependent on transportation and timing. However, in general, I think that we would like some materials of our own since we sometimes have overlapping events.
You can find more about the group and event here,
