-Please note: per july 2017 a new logo design and collateral update is under way
-* stickers to be printed (preferably locally)
-* OSGEo Flyer(s) to be printed (preferably locally)
-* Banners to be printed locally:
- Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
- I suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2
- Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether  the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability  (light glare during exhibitions is high)
-* Brochure:
- Old: OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf
- (this is single A4 back and front)
- New brochure to be printed locally
- I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished.
- Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend)
- Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.
-* Table runner
- Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
- If printer is able to print on cloth, you could order:
- OSGeo_tablerunner to be designed
- Please check with printer if PDF or SVG file format required
-* CD Live disk/stick (latest version?)
- http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/disk/
- Per FOSS4G 2016 this was 10.0 version
- Stick minumum memory: ?
- Logo to be printed on it.
- Amount: ?? (e.g. 50% selfstarting)
