A bit of reference, CD's (usually a CD sells for about US$2, they cost US$.43 to make last time I checked---for a run of 1000), well their donations are pretty significant. 500 sets, 4 CDs a set, that adds up. What I'm wondering is if we could make arrangements with them for something that would involve us paying for some of the CDs so we'd have more. At LinuxWorld, we really did not have enough to go around and the ones we had were gone in 30 minutes. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <jgoerzen> doogie: you sound highly unstable :-) <Knghtbrd> jgoerzen - he is. * doogie bops Knghtbrd <Knghtbrd> see?
