It would be good that someone adds a comment that you are NOT on your
own with Open Source software.

There are the various communities and the Service Providers:

Jo,
In 2012, there have been 22 events that I'm aware of that have/are 
planning to made use of the OSGeo-Live DVD (or the presentation): 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History


At most/all of these events there an OSGeo presentation, usually based 
upon our OSGeo-Live presentation, and I've usually been involved in 
finding someone to give these presentations.


I suspect that Arnulf and others could testify to similar numbers of 
approaches.


So, from personal experience, I would find it very useful to have a list 
of ambassadors to point conference organisors at.

Hi Dan,

If you could kindly  send the unused LiveDVDs for OSGeo UK Chapter that will be 
greatly appreciated. We need them for promoting at various events in the UK. 
You can post to Jo Cook or myself . We will pay for the postage costs.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Would someone be able/willing to give such a talk at the MapWindow/Open Source 
GIS conference in Velp, The Netherlands next month? See  
http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/

We have a box of live DVD's to give out. Actually we have about 800 Live DVD's 
but will probably only give out 100 or so at the conference. So if someone 
wants some already burned DVD's let me know.

- Dan
