Budget

 * This effort was not foreseen when the OSGeo Open Geoscience budget 2020 was defined and confirmed.
 * Since the OSGeo Board endorses this effort, remaining funds initially allocated for the OSGeo lunchbag event can be used for Help Desk related efforts.

Opportunities

 * Presentations about the OSGeo organisation (e.g. people and conferences) (and how it ties into Open Science) (tbd: List of such presentations which already exist)
 * Presentations about OSGeo projects (e.g. software tools, open data), especially OSGeo Live (tbd: List of such presentations which already exist)
 * Handouts: OSGeo live postcards/stickers (with download link) ) OSGeo live DVDs/ Thumbdrives ?, stickers, flyers, 
 * Small posters (A4 sized ?) with QR codes for download options or additional information ?
 * Booth attendance (answering questions, taking notes, referring to other experts)
 * Do we have promo-videos / animated slide sets ?
 * Booth parties ("QGIS get-together, etc. ?")

Outcome

 * OSGeo received credit by "special thanks" on the Help Desk web presence (along with AWI and ENVRI).
 * The concept of the Data Help Desk worked very well (100k twitter imprints within 8 hours on EGU-Tuesday). It was covered in the EGU blogs
 * Videos are available from the website
 * There will most likely be another Data Help Desk at EGU 2021.
