If Guy Edri agrees to burn the CDs, I see no problem. Guy, did you encode all lectures already to the PC? If not, I suggest creating VCDs which are playable on most DVD players. You'll need dvgrab, mencoder, vcdimager, and cdrdao to complete this task under GNU/Linux. I am willing to keep the copies of the CDs at my disposal and burn copies. Also, if it's really nessecary, I can convert DV->VCD during weekends. > B) Putting the lecture on a technion server which will broadcast them over > the internet. Instead of (or in addition to) using the technion broadcast server which limits you to streaming only and currently works only inside the Technion network, I suggest putting MPEG or DivX;) files online for download. Note that each lecture will be several hundred megabytes, depending on compression. I see www.haifux.org has nothing close the amount of diskspace needed to host such a project. Maybe one of the linux-il corporate sponsors could donate a server/HD for the purpose of hosting these lectures?
