Re: GNOME 3 DVDs
Customs will get picky if you receive 100 DVDs. They'll try to charge taxes even if it's tagged as a donation/gift. We need to find out how to avoid that.

Canonical handled this problem for years with the Ship-It program (which they recently closed down). Gerry Carr from Canonical would be a good person to ask about the practical issues related to a program like this. Cheers, Dave. As I recall, the Ship-it Program sent individual CDs to requesters.

At openSUSE, we've certainly encountered some of those customs problems and come up with some solutions.
