Michael,
I happen to have 10 Arramagong LiveDVDs in my bag, and using some
kitchen scales, I can get some rough answers for you:
10 DVDs + Plastic sleeve + unfolded paper insert, the size of the DVD =
220 grams. +/- 10 grams.
Ie, 22 gms each.
For completeness, I also weighed 30 random CDs without covers = 480 gms
+/- 10 gms
Ie 16 gms each

In order to estimate a cost, the magazine people need to know (exactly) how
much each insert (DVD + sleeve?) weighs. Anyone with a good scale?

Paulo,
A LiveDVD already exists! It was handed out at the FOSS4G 2008 booth,
and we have handed it out at a few Australian conferences.
Also, every delegate at FOSS4G 2009 will be given a LiveDVD.
Details about the DVD are at:

Michael,
Writing about the LiveDVD would be good, it might encourage 1/100 readers to
download the DVD and try it.
Actually including the LiveDVD in the magazine would be a huge bonus for
OSGeo. Every second reader would try the DVD out, and I'd expect high uptake
from readers of Open Source from this experience.
Cameron,
having a propper printed DVDs (or CDs for that matter) would be a huge bonus,
and quite a marketing effort. Think 'conference handouts'.
