Re: (clug-talk) Fw: Revolution OS video purchase

[Jeffrey Clement]

Just for interest I filled out the HP form for a free copy of the Revolution OS video and they just phoned and, after confirming the info I entered into the form, told me my copy + other info should arrive shortly.
Cool.

Jarrod,

The DVD will be probably around $28 USD plus shipping. The $150 price
is what the distributor charges for video screenings of REVOLUTION OS
before large groups at conferences, universities, etc. Those tapes are
not intended for private home use or retail sales. They tell me that
price is fairly typical for a video licensed for
educational/institutional use (large group screenings).

The good news is that the DVD will be far cheaper, and that I will be
giving permission to LUGs for free screenings of the DVD. However,
that's still a couple of months away. Right now, we are hoping to have
a good run in Edmonton, and then may be get booked into a theatre in
Calgary.

Thanks again for your interest in REVOLUTION OS. I'm sure we will
figure out a way for CLUG to see the film in the next couple of months.

Sincerely,

J.T.S. Moore

Mr. Moore,

I appreciate your email on the showing in Edmonton. Some rather news

hungry

individuals have already posted this date and location on our mailing

list

for CLUG. I certainly hope that the DVD will be more reasonably priced

than

the VHS is. I was quote a price of $150 by your distributor. This seems
ridiculously steep, no offence.

Our little group would love to obtain a copy, so there are quite a few

of us

who are awaiting the DVD release.

Thanks again,

Jarrod Major

Jarrod,

I thought you would want to know that a cinemascope 35mm print of
REVOLUTION OS will play at Metro Cinemas in Edmonton from Dec. 20-22.

I

know Edmonton is a bit of a drive up the road from Calgary, but I
thought you and some of the other CLUG members might be interested.

The DVD should be available around February, and will be a 2-disc
special edition with lots of extra material.

Sincerely,

J.T.S. Moore
Director, REVOLUTION OS

The Calgary Linux Users Group approached you guys a while back about

getting

a hold of your movie for Convergence 2002. Alas, the resources we

needed

(a

35mm projector) were not to be had so we were not able to show your

film.

Our humble little group is still interested in having a viewing of

your

film

for our members. Would there be any way we can get a hold of the

film on

VHS

or DVD now. I believe that we would even be willing to purchase it

if

necessary as long as you can provide us with prices for each format.

Thanks.
