What do you think, how can we promote our CDs? I'm sorry to inform you, that this is a difficult topic. As you might have already been told, your "case" (so to speak) has recently been discussed on the debian-www and debian-cd lists [1] and our web team didn't like the idea to bless / endorse any vendor. One easy way to help you even more (beside finaly adding you the vendor list) could be to mention you in an upcoming issue of the Debian Project News. On the one hand, that would fit, as you are "something happening in the wider Debian world", on the other hands, it's difficult to draw a line what fits, and what not. So I guess that needs to be discussed first. I would also like to point out, that there are similar problems. See for example, http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/07/28/do-you-want-a-free-debian-book/, which is an initative of "freeing" a Debian related book. On the one hand it's a good initiative, but on the other hand, there are also other books about Debian, most (if not all?) donate a share back to us. So before answering you, we first seem to find a general answer, what and how, we as debian-publicity, would like to endorse / bless / mention / whatever handle these and similar things. Any comments welcome... Links: 1: http://lists.debian.org/<20100728160023.GA9563@upsilon.cc> Best Regards, Alexander
