Subject: [ubuntu-za] Edgy CDs for the community
To: Ubuntu South African Local Community <ubuntu-za at lists.ubuntu.com>
Message-ID: <45F01FCE.3040002 at penguinlabs.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
With Feisty shaping up and looking to release next month, I suddenly
realised we as a LoCoTeam have some Edgy CDs to distribute.
ShipIt did not distribute Edgy CDs, since Dapper aka 6.06 LTS was
considered more stable. However Craig did get a good number for us to
distribute.
He's posted me some to distribute in Cape Town, for which I offered to
pay the postage costs. When they arrive, I'll ping this list and anybody
can come and collect from me in the Northern Suburbs - perhaps somebody
in the Southern Suburbs can take half so people can collect there too.
I'll be asking for a nominal cash amount to cover the cost of the
postage, and be giving out batches of CDs (5 at a time?) depending on
how many there are -- so it will be up to you to distribute them further.
Rumour has it that Feisty (7.04) will be available via ShipIt, although
we will as a LoCoTeam also get an allocation of them. We may hold (some
of) those back for events, depending on what's on the calendar between
now and Feisty+1.
So... Craig's in Durban, I'm in Cape Town, who in Joburg (or other major
cities) wants the rest of the Edgy CDs on the same basis - pay Craig for
postage, recover when handing out?
Regards
Morgan

Why don't we write something and send it to them? It shouldn't be too hard.
Anyone have a few hours over the weekend?

I'll take a few (Centurion, Pretoria). I study Computer Science, so I know
one or two people who are interested. About 5 or so should do. If I need
more I can just burn a few.
One question: are there Kubuntu CDs as well? Almost everyone I know prefers
KDE over GNOME...

There are a mix, but AFAIK more U than Ku. 5 Kubuntu should be no
problem. Let's see if anyone steps in to handle Gauteng - otherwise
Craig or I can post them to you.
