I agree. This is where a great Mageia Community would delegate the CD

Yes, that is the spirit of my suggestion (and that does not go far
beyond what is happening all the time in a forum).
I start wondering: is there a hidden formal issue with sending CDROMs
"left and right" - not within a more or less well-defined Mageia-userxx
community? Certainly no problem if I give a couple of CDROMs to some
neighbours I know (for instance via forum acquaintanceship). But what if
I do the same thing with people I dont know at all? and, moreover, if I
start claiming that I do this "on behalf of / by delegation from Mageia?
Would be good if - once the time comes - Mageia formulates a couple of
words on what Mageia considers good practice, and what not.
Yes, then, it would be good if Mageia had a policy regarding the burning
of discs. However, let's remember that a user asking for a DVD due to
his not being able to download from the Mageia site is asking for help
to download the Mageia product from the Mageia site. She/He could in
essence be given a computer a the Community (headquarters) and he/she
could download and burn the ISO. There would be no need for a policy in
this case.
Now if a member of the Community did the same, would this be in the name
of the Mageia group.
I can see where the Community "mass" produced the discs and started
passing them to complete strangers who had no idea of Mageia, well, then
there should be a policy about the burning and of the community involvement.
