Just recalled that Ubuntu Appdeveloper week will be starting from 9.30
pm IST (If I correctly converted UTC time to IST), it would be good if
we could shift the time of meeting a bit earlier ?

Thanks

Running a centralised shipit program would be too costly as well as
requiring dedicated manpower. Instead a decentralised system like filling
up a wiki page of those who have the CDs and those wanting one is more cost
effective and also improves 'the social network' within the community.

Also, by setting up a shipit like service, people would expect better or
professional artwork on CDs and CD covers which would up the cost further.

wonder if we could have sponsors for the local cd shipit - not
corporate sponsors but individual sponsors

am willing to put some money into a fund if such a fund is created.

We already have this page [0] where we used to update the CDs that we have.
We can start planning something on the similar lines while designing the
new website.

I hope Maitreya is reading this :)

I think the discussion was good - it's always good to see some debate and
learn some things in the process.

Am happy to download / burn CDs, Khar / Worli in Mumbai.

cheers,
Sanjay

The thread was hijacked at your first reply itself, where OP stated
why he is sad about Shipit being stopped and you posted comments. That
comment itself had no relevance to the OP post. It contained
* Unity v/s GNOME
* Rolling release - Debian
* Paid software being bad

Anyway since you did not answer my questions, I conclude you gave up.
