Hi, As Bryen mentions, AJ has been handling the sending out of 30.000 DVD's per year in batches of 100 or more so there's no better person to ask ;-)
Of course we'd be happy to send the DVD's to 3 or 4 locations, if you like - it'd be silly to send them to the USA and have you ship half of them back to Europe or something like that. Within EU and USA, shipping is cheap - as soon as you need an airplane, costs go up. So I suggest setting up someone in Europe and someone in the USA at least. Another thing. I have collected some marketing materials for inclusion on the DVD. Including a PDF-ified version of the gnome3.org page including the video's (and their subtitles), a collection of posters/banners and the presentation templates as well as some creative commons material (2 albums and the latest Blender movie "sintel"). Took me a while to collect but you'll have about 350 MB of additional Cool Stuff (TM) besides the awesomeness that is GNOME Shell ;-) Cheers, Jos On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Diego Escalante Urrelo <die...@gnome.org> wrote: > Customs will get picky if you receive 100 DVDs.
