Neal, can you please send requests asking for CDs for both the SCaLE<br>
(at least 100) and CLS West (100) events in the next two weeks? This<br>
way existing reserves can be used for other purposes. I've given away<br>
about 50 burned copies already and continue to give away burned<br>
copies. I understand the reasoning for rationing, but I do not<br>
understand the reasoning behind not even asking for CDs for legitimate<br>
events.<br>
<br>
Robert, any help you can provide in the way of discs would be most<br>
appreciated unless you have other plans for them already. I hope you<br>
are able to fulfill Aaditya's request. Every time I go to a user<br>
group I give away three or more depending on the subjective estimate<br>
that I always make about them getting used. I am working with the<br>
Berkeley LUG on several upcoming events and projects, SFSU on a series<br>
of 12 seminars on open source and visit many of the groups listed on<br>
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups" target="_blank"><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups</a></a><br>
on an ongoing basis. I have not tallied up a total request, I simply<br>
burn as many as I can to keep up with demand. This takes significant<br>
time, effort and money but has in my subjective view been very<br>
successfully received. As I said, I'm sure I will give away at least<br>
250 before the Lucid release with or without pressed copies.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
