Sounds like a nice way to provide a value add for regional Aus and I'm happy to be part of the experiment. I'm prepared to fund $20 worth of CDs. Ie, I''ll burn / ship 8 CDs @2.50 each. More if the potage is less :) Is there any Ubuntu CD art work we can access? cheers James <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 10:52 PM, Jared Norris <<a href="mailto:jrnorris@gmail.com">jrnorris@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Good evening all, With the release of Lucid Lynx approaching us sooner rather than later one idea I had that I would like to put out there to the mailing list was a bit of a Shipit type service (see <a href="https://shipit.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">https://shipit.ubuntu.com/</a> for the official version) that aims at delivering the new release much sooner than the quoted 10 weeks from the website. What I am proposing is that some users in metropolitan Australia with quicker download speeds and higher download quota limits burn a copy of the new release and then post it to another user who might be stuck on dial up or regional 3G services with very low download limits. I would like to see if this sort of a service would be useful to our regional users or not and I would also be willing to coordinate this service. I have costed the idea and to post a CD to anywhere in Australia from anywhere in Australia would cost $2.50 (this includes the packaging and the postage costs) and also the cost the CD itself. How this would be paid would be dependant upon how many people were wanting this service and how many people were willing to help out. If you are interested please feel free to either drop me an email (on or off the list I don't mind) or pop into IRC (as explained <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/IRC" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/IRC</a> - I'm usually lurking, my nick is head_victim) and just send me a message.<a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au" target="_blank"></a> </blockquote></div>
