Could there be more online material thatcan be downloaded and printer 
locally?

Create a list of materials - with their files links - in one place that 
will be all that a local promoter needs?  The current marketing site 
does not have what is needed.

Banners - several sizes - for hanging on wall, table, and a sign-stand.
SWAG - well if there is a company that offers a good price on limited 
quantities, that would be great.
Promotional cards for LO and where to buy the books
DVDs - like what the NA-DVD project has created would be nice for 
localized events.
Brochures - like Drew created for the NA-DVD project are always needed 
for booths.

"Official" LO shirts - polo-style for the boot personnel would make them 
look more professional.

I wonder if there would be an ability to sell some of the LO books at 
such events.

If a local person, like me, could be able to download the files and get 
them printed locally, and order the shirt and SWAG items for 
himself/herself, that would be great.  Providing the funds to create 
these items for local events that would help promote LO would be great 
as well.

I know that, even in a smaller community area where I live, we have 
different "events" where a booth to display LO might work.  These are 
not "software events" but ones that the community tends to go to.  Then 
there are the events for community businesses.  Having a booth at one of 
those promoting LO might get them to start to think about LO for their 
business, or at least for their homes.
