Mike, even if the packages don't arrive in time for the LDD events, I'm
sure the non-US LUGs participating would love to receive care packages as
well. The mini recovery CDs are k�hl in any language and can be given to
the volunteers after the fact. The bumper stickers can be used as door
prizes for regular meetings or given to computer or book stores to be
given away with purchase of Open Source[1] products.
Right now several of the non-US LUGs are feeling left out because they're
not seeing that they're going to get much support from the US-based
companies. Granted, I'm not getting any free copies of Linux-Magazin, but
I'm also one of the 5 or 6 people in the two LUGs I'm in who could read it
;-).
I know you've got limited time, supplies and other resources, but still
want to encourage getting stuff to as many LUGs as you can, even if it
does show up late.
I can't wait to play with the recovery cd (they're the talk of the town at
work!).
[1] Yes, Rick, probably isn't grammatically correct to capitalize that,
so consider it artistic license :). I think it was great that you not only
read all that (more of the web site than I have), but that you also
submitted the corrections. I hope Deepak got them put in place.
