Optical drives are an increasing rarity in new computers. They'll be going the way of the floppy soon enough. I think that for next year, we should deemphasize DVDs overall, instead focusing on fliers and promotional material. I know this is _also_ an extra cost, but I think it would be worth printing these on demand per-event with event-specific URLs, so we can better judge return rates. If we move to USB sticks (rather than just ditching media altogether), I think we should follow the suggestions from earlier threads and raise the bar for getting one — perhaps even to the point of asking people to sign up for a Fedora account (and promising no spam, of course) if they don't have one, and visiting Badges to get the badge for that conference. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
