As 100 bdt are around 1 Euro, this means 250 € for 500 DVD.
Generally CDs and DVDs are not given away for free, but for a small amount
of money - either the costs we have or a small donation.
This avoids people to take them as free gifts and throw them away
afterwards.
In Europe about 1 Euro is not really much - everybody interested in a copy
of OOo will be able to pay that much, but for Bangladesh I don't know if it
is reasonable to ask for money at all or what would be a comparable amount
of money.
1 Euro in Europe means about 1/2000 of the money an average employee takes
home every month.
I agree with you, haven't thought this perspective. For the WTO (TRIPS)
waiver for Bangladesh till 2013, people pays (not more than 50 bdt) for
CD/DVD only to get the pirated copy of the other office suite or any other
software. So, I guess we can ask for a token price of 25 bdt (0.2515), not
more. We can produce all the DVD ourselves, selling all those DVD would
reimburse. But, what if we can't sale the whole lot, I'm requesting 15 bdt
for each CD as a subsidy, we shall arrange the rest 15 taka to of total 30
taka to do the DVD from here: http://worldcomltd.com/contact.html
I will retain all invoice for you.
Is a sensible approach that you try to do what is possible in your local
situation.

This is for active OO.o volunteer, mostly l10n contributors, this would be
the first time we can reconcile their efforts.

The other proposed expenses seem reasonable for me (it's not comparable to
European prices), so I'd support your request.
