From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue14

"Shipit plans announced
Canonical COO Jane Silber has announced the plan for ShipIt, once Edgy 
has been released. The current plan is to continue to ship Ubuntu 
6.06 LTS, due to it being a long supported release, while Ubuntu 6.10 
(Edgy Eft) will be available for download only. Approved LoCo teams 
can request 6.10, however, and will be sent out a large bundle of CDs 
to distribute, as well as distributors that can further spread the 
Ubuntu message. [...]"

So my question again is - are there plans afoot for Ubuntu-NZ to 
obtain a bulk quantity of Edgy disks for NZ distribution or can I be 
vested with authority to order a box or two for local distribution?
