Good afternoon all, In the interests of transparency I thought I would let you all know that the all of the spare CDs have been now been distributed amongst the community. Over the past few weeks the Ubuntu-AU team has been able to send bulk CDs to:
Sydney - to be distributed amongst high school IT students - thanks Matthew Boden! Melbourne - to be used for the Ubuntu-AU ongoing CD distribution efforts and also for use with groups like Computer Bank & Linux Users Victoria (LUV) - good work Peter Baker! Brisbane - donated to Home Unix Brisbane User Group (HUMBUG) to use to distribute to new IT students at various O week functions in the coming week as part of their efforts. Paul Gear had been organising a sticker order for the team as well so when that seemed to fall through somewhere along the line we were able to make up the order from the CDs and sticker left overs. I'm lead to believe these have all now been distributed as well, good work Paul, sounds like you were able to get a heap of them out. I apologise for making these decisions quickly but with less than 2 months before the new release which will make these CDs obsolete I wanted to make the best use of them as quickly as possible. I'm now confident the vast majority of the CDs we had leftover will not be sitting in someone's garage or bedroom cupboard just waiting to be used but will now actually be put to good use as they were intended to by Canonical. Lastly I would like to thank Canonical for providing these CDs and other paraphernalia we were able to use for the LCA event and beyond, I think the whole process has been quite a success.
