If you mean free media project specifically, I am trying to help it out through regional offices where possible rather than the US office distributing media from a central location. Again, the cost of distribution is much more producing stuff. I dont think its Red Hat involved in free media is a scalable model and I would want others to get involved in it more than RH. We are multiple ways to address the distribution problem effectively. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/ Downloads OEM Online vendors Local vendors Free media sponsored media OEM Books and magazines For any amount of finite budget, we are trying to spend it where it makes better sense. How many people think Red Hat should be spending the money on free media distribution?
