if there is not 1 sponsor:
- the biggest one can be on the back of the stick?
- the smaller ones can be on the "wallpaper" of the localised ubuntu
(nl/fr/german/english)+belgian keyboard default

   - how to merchandise it (site? only Dipro?...)

check on finances & sponsors -> send it to the "eventbox" coordinators;
interested support points can then go to the nearest eventbox location to
get/buy them?
eventboxes will visit dipro sites

no problem...

depends on sponsoring & people interested in the (mass) samenaankoop?

I'm interested to drive it... but first to get the finances (tax/no tax?),
sponsoring (?), end-price (free/non free/how much profit for ubuntu-be?)

they will be cheaper ... imho they sell 8gb/16gb sticks at very low prices;
a "customized" version is allways more expensive at such events (we're not
talking about a "shop" like fnac) ...unless there is a sponsor who will
lower the final price offcoarse
