Distribution of CDs was our plan in compas'03. And it was discussed in this meeting as well. We cant "sell" items as we claim its a non commercial stall for the community. But we can always redirect visitors to some other stall / give them some URL from where they can purchase. Another option is to distribute free CDs. Then again the question comes which flavour ? and to all visitors ?
