I'd just like to add one little thing for those who've already
contacted me. In return for sending the CDs out I ask a small favour
in return. All I would like to see is that you provide some return to
the community as to what you have done with the CDs. If it's just to
hand out at work, school or uni take a photo of the poster you put up
with them to take with a little story about any anecdotes you have
from the interaction. I don't think this is too much to ask for the
good will of Canonical shipping them to us. We can use these on the
website to share the news with the world. If you're not comfortable
writing the article, shoot an email to the mailing list and we can
turn it into an article for you.

If you're planning a public event (uni open day, community hall
gathering, etc) and want more than a handful please make it into a
loco.u.c event so we can all join in, and who knows you might find
someone else in your area to help you out.

If you want to contribute to the shipping please feel free to use
paypal to send money to the email address that I've sent this from.
