Hello, does this mean that National Bookstore is open to
suggestions from the public, in general or just open source in
particular? Which department or person is the contact for
suggestions/requests from the public? Will every suggested
open source title be stocked? If not, how will they decide
which to carry---sales volume (popularity) as reported by
the publisher?

"We" is NBS or PLUG? Will NBS (or PLUG) be the one
creating the CDs and selling them for, say, the
copying/media cost plus a reasonable profit?
Is NBS open to 1) other distributions besides the stated ones,
such as the BSDs; and 2) a third party (say PLUG or other org)
supplying CDs either for free giveaway or for sale at
very low cost (i.e., just copying/media cost plus
optionally a small profit)?
