Sudhir, With a little planning and inputs from others on this list, this could be a good product. But, I agree with you lets start.
To extend your initial idea, why not include the archives from all the linux-india chapters? What do you have in mind? Have you thought of an interface design of the CD?

We don't lose naything by making the first CD with this 30Mb stuff. Let no one take it, if it comes to that, but we will have made a beginning. Further to that, your ideas can go on getting incorporated (go ahead with it and do it and we move further) and so on and so forth..... Let the show begin my friend.......
