This will make it harder for many people to get ubuntu. I have seen so
many people who wouldn't download anything more than a 100MB because
of money or speed. But from the beginning I did think that giving free
CDs was outrageous!
What could be the alternatives?
Could we make ubuntu CDs together with printed CD covers (we could
make a custom Ubuntu india CD cover)?
The cost would vary accourding to the resources we could use: a CD is
for Rs12 approx, and printing can be done from a shop or with a
printer. These CDs could be distributed to local bookstores and shop.
We could divide the management of this distrubution according to the
area we live in.
I think I remember reading that we could definitely sell custom Ubuntu
CDs ( I don't think I remember correctly, please confirm). But if we
could, we could use it wisely. I vote for non-profit.
The difficult part would be making the shops agree.
The other project we could undertake is either ( somehow ) getting a
shipit like program within India itself. I don't know how will that be
made possible. I am still to even get my own bank account. But just
suggesting.
PS: It was my small time dream that I would earn a lot, and help in
advertising Ubuntu.

Can we arrange something like Free Media programs like fedora does ( I'm
distributing Fedora and ubuntu at no charges, just one need to carry
blank CD/DVD and exchange with Fedora/Ubuntu ) just like barter system.
