Well, if you don't expect any interest, it might not be worth it.
interest is one thing, going to a remote location is an other. It's expensive and need more than casual interest.
to attract real interest, we need more than posters.
What I can see that's cheap is on air (real time) video transmission (streaming) of some important conference. Announcing a new foundation could be an important news :-).
I remember... 10 years ago, our LUG received a SuSE box for any new version. This was really appreciated, but atm there where little LUGs and much more boxes sold :-)
I think we could make some "LUG starting kit". For example 2 posters, 25 demo dvd, 100 stickers, 2 T-shirts, to be sent on LUG representatives. If we send this only to identified LUGs (for example LUG designated by ambassadors as actives), this could have an effect for may be less money than hundred of dvd.
to make more people come to the conference, it's much more complicated. Only people used to international event will go to foreing country at own expense.

Well, it might make sense to simply add as manu LUG's there as possible. We can then simply send such a 'LUG starter kit' to each, if and when we have the money. Notice that this is quite an expensive thing to do and my funds are of course limited :D
