Put the NVIDIA Spark bootable-Rocky USB on Justins org - and size it to carry meeting materials
Situation
On 9/2 Arthur Tyde asked whether CIQ could produce a Rocky-on-NVIDIA-Spark artifact for events. Peter confirmed the current Spark version of Rocky already is a bootable USB stick and called it super doable, then named the constraints and the owner. Constraint one: the image he holds is old, the current one sits with someone who is out, and he expects to have it in a couple of weeks. Constraint two: it only runs on an NVIDIA Spark - a Mac or other target would need different packaging and drivers, which is a separate ask. He then allocated the work outright: Justins org can build something. He also specified the form factor rather than leaving it open - small ones are fine, like a 128 gig would allow us to include additional meeting materials - turning a bare boot stick into a carrier for collateral.
Reasoning
Peter treated a marketing-side ask as a real engineering deliverable rather than deflecting it or absorbing it himself, and named an owning organisation in the same message so it could not drift back to him. Sizing the stick up to 128GB is the part that carries intent: the artifact is not a technical demo, it is something handed to someone at an event, so it should carry the materials that make the handoff worth something. He also drew the scope line up front - Spark only, other targets are a different project - so the assignment cannot quietly expand into a cross-platform packaging effort.
Additional Context
Raised in a DM with Arthur Tyde while a separate blocker was live: the current image is held by someone unavailable, so the work has a known dependency Peter expects to clear within a couple of weeks.

Yeah - our current NVIDIA Spark version of Rocky is a bootable USB stick... super doable.
