Hi people, on the Media distribution i'd like to remember a "program" started by the FedoraItalia.org [1] community where a bunch of people, dislocated all over Italy, give away the installation cd/dvd at the bare cost of the support + shipping. we had a list of people declaring: who where available FC release type me Rome (ie) FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5 cd + dvd Personally i've sent a dozen discs all over the year, while at the moment the service is stopped for a number of internal reasons. Now, i have to re-read the Sponsored Media Marketing thing again but, if buying a copy of that discs doesn't give directly money to Fedora, then i think that also other communities could "copy" the italian one's. Also i'd like to add a thought, it has occurred to me to prepare a bunch of disks to give away in some African countries (since some of my friends have done some lesson "in loco"). And while a 3.6GB disc was welcome i fear that the average amount of data we download at each update is overkill for them (and even to some particular locations or countries where the connection to internet is made over pstn lines or at best some ISDN). Maybe we should also think at implementing "diff" updates, like SuSE did some time ago ... but that's a topic for another list (maybe) -- nicola .:kOoLiNuS:. losito http://koolinus.wordpress.com http://www.koolinus.net "If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy."
