I did, and I'm still available to help (I even took a day off at work
just in case there would be a party, even if you or anyone else didn't
answer my offer yet).

Press contact lists like that aren't & shouldn't be posted in public
(journalists don't want to be called/mailed personally by *everyone*,
and general press addresses often aren't very effective).  I think
several people said they have some press contacts & experience, it's up
to them to co-ordinate.

So, will CDs be available?

I agree Mark should have asked for co-ordination here first, so that we
could order CDs together.  I hope that in the end these CDs won't be
"for Flanders only".
Now, I know that Mark has been disappointed about the lack of people
_working_ (instead of talking) on ubuntu-be too...
I also know he has been working on this project from before FOSDEM (in a
time when ubuntu-be didn't exist), which also might help explain things
a little.
