Anto.. i & sooraj kennoth is also working on a similar project like this one.. but our project aims to create a dvd which has all the software's commonly used by users.. think of it as a custom repo dvd..
the entire ubuntu repository is 8 dvds.. but the users only use a small fraction of the software available in repos.. we found that all the software they need would easily fit on one dvd.. we would release a new version of the dvd every 6 months.. ie, a new dvd for every ubuntu release.. i think that this is a better way than remastering ubuntu since: * it is easier to continue developing.. * the user has the choice to choose what he wants.. * we r promoting the original brand ubuntu n there r significant benefits on doing that.. * the dvd will contain additional items like ubuntu manual, screencasts, etc to make a new users feel at home in ubuntu.. * N the best thing is that users can download the dvd image, n use the image to install softwares.. no need to burn dvds for that.. main packages currently in the dvd.. full kde desktop environment, codecs, vlc player, gimp, ubuntu-edu- primary, ubuntu-edu-preschool, ubuntu-edu-tertiary, ubuntu-edu- secondary, adobe-flash, startup manager, deluge, avant window navigator, various development environments, supertux, supertuxkart, n much more... even then the dvd image is only 2 gb.. -- "Freedom is the only law".
