[DC LoCo] Please read and discuss: Hardy (8.04) CD's on order.

[Kevin Cole]

Greetings Earthlings,

The following Hardy CD's have been ordered as per the official rules
for LoCo's getting 'em.

* Ubuntu: PC: 230, AMD64: 20
* Kubuntu: PC: 30, AMD64: 15
* Edubuntu: PC: 10
* Server PC: PC: 30
* Server 64bit: PC: 15
* KDE4 Remix: PC: 50

The official word is "delivery within two weeks after the Hardy release date"...

As RBDF? (Reluctant Benevolent Dictator For ???) I dictate the
following. (Do you take dictation?)

  * Food / Drink / Meet.  We need to discuss...

      If we meet M-F, not before 7:00, please.  On weekends, any time
      other than Saturday 12:00 - 4:00 (with a wee bit o' notice).

  * Reserve some for People's Media Center
  * Reserve some for Cleveland Park Library
  * Reserve some for Arlington Public Schools
  * Reserve LOTS for the Takoma Park Folk Festival (TPFF)
  * Unload the rest (if unclaimed) fairly quickly

Makenzie, Nick: TPFF... We distributed over 150 right?  (I'm
remembering something like 160-180.  I may have those numbers in an
old message.)

Everywhere else, I doubt we topped 50, though we may have gotten close.

So, lets try to balance expedient distribution with not running too
short at TPFF.

My thinking on this is: If People's Media Center, or YHS run short,
they (or one of us) can probably burn CD's to satisfy, as they're
already converts -- and have their own "local talent" and equipment to
spare.  So they're a bit more self-reliant. Individuals from those
groups (and this list) can also get their jollies by order a 10-pack
directly from ShipIt. For Cleveland Park Library and especially for
TPFF, we're still "talking to the great unwashed" and/or "winning
hearts and minds" and it would be nice to put Ubuntu's best face
forward: Slick CD's in slick covers.  Plus that a TPFF table costs
money and is several hours all concentrated with one purpose.  Without
CD's there, I doubt it's worth the table space or the moving hassle of
getting a van, etc.
