EDIT: let's try focusing on regional and larger events for the most part, especially annual. It would be nice to cover everything and everybody for dozens of local meetups, but Quim is right: probably more trouble than it's worth.

However-- I think we should also consider occasional presentations at certain local user groups. For this all we would need is flyers, devices to demo and perhaps some low-cost "swag" (mugs, tee-shirts). For flyers, I can create an estimate for a one-time bulk order, stock them centrally, and send out as needed. That creates a cost Nokia would be more open to rather than continuous request for more and more materials. And we can monitor consumption rate to see when a re-order would be required.

Similar with device giveaways. I would suggest we reserve those for large events, and limit to 3 or less. Once we have a roster of such events, quantifying this one-time cost also becomes easy.

Etc etc etc.
