[AusNOG] Promotional material at AusNOG Events.

I for one would pay up to 50% of the in-person price for a live stream. I
have done just this for TedX.

Would love to see the math on the income from 'the sponsor' and stack that
against the income from copious live streams (minus in-person overheads).

For an NOG we seem to be very offline 🤷‍♀️

<S>It not like we couldn't find some spare bandwidth for a live stream.</s>
