Actually Wesley is in Durban and I already got a box of CDs to him.
Also JP is probably the Stellenbosch contact, as he also has access to
sun repos if his CDs run out. Also we have Stefan from Linux System
Dynamic (lsd.co.za) who is in Randburg. They have run release parties
before and have had CDs available for people to pick up before too.

So that leaves Cape Town ... :)

Yip more or less what I am trying to setup. I see this as a trial run
for when the LTS cds get here.

Also I wanted to ask that people who have the CDs take one picture of
a meeting where a CD changes hands and sends it to me or better blog
and send me the link. I will add this to the monthly report and this
will make it much easier to motivate why we should get more CDs and
why we should stay an official Loco. Maybe lots of photos with hands
and CDs would be interesting especially if people don't want to be in
photos. Just an idea.
