<br>
in the last community meeting we had some discussion about the target<br>
size for our ISO. Since many of the team weren't attending, we wanted to<br>
bring the discussion in the mailing list.<br>
<br>
<br>
PLEASE NOTE that this is not a idea/proposal thread for ideas on filling<br>
the ISO with $software. People who send software suggestions to this<br>
thread have the risk of being added to the manual moderation list. Thank<br>
you.<br>
<br>
<br>
After we couldn't fit into a CD any more, our target has been 1GB. The<br>
argument for that target size was that it was the next usual hardware<br>
limit (eg. there aren't many 900MB USB sticks).<br>
<br>
This discussion is current since we are talking about potentially<br>
including LibreOffice; if that happens, we will definitely go over 1GB<br>
and there isn't anything we can drop to get back below.<br>
<br>
My suggestion on the meeting was that if we go over 1GB, our new target<br>
should be "below or as close to 1GB as possible, but 2GB at maximum".<br>
<br>
What do you others think?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Pasi<br>
