Hi Tim, I have professionally printed blanks, a dozen that I need to put an iso image on - for the show in 20 days. Will grab cases and use the print center at Staples for the cover/insert. That should be sufficient for SELF2011. I plan to use them a) for table display b) offer 3 or 4 copies for give-a-way by the show at the closing ceremony. [last year OO.o donated a printer, this will be much better IMO] Will send a picture when the sets are finished. > So, are you going to have the ISO file on your portal site? Can't see why not. Could setup bittorrent also..but let's not complicate things if there is no real need for it. > > Are we going to have it on the TDF site somewhere? I'd say yes - I think use the portal for a testing image, and as soon as it's 'thumbs up' move it to the TDF server. I'll coordinate with the folks on the website/project list on that at the time, will also need to create the information pages at: http://north-america.libreofficebox.org/ I was thinking the index page would be pretty much a cut down version of what is at http://libreoffice-na.us now, to start. One thing that will/can change the page layout is that we might want to link to the wiki for some of the details, specifically about creating a disc-kit. This is something that the Ubuntu LoCo teams have used to reportedly good results. Have been following along with the conversation happening with the Ubuntu LoCo teams disc distribution activities for the Natty roll-out. Particularly the Colorado team in the USA, but also the California, also Bangladesh and Sri-Lanka teams. So this idea of disc distribution, to be effective requires a certain amount of on the ground activities, this would be my number one take away from this research time. The teams that leverage the media, meaning that they get master copies, if you will, of the disc (professionally done) into the hands of very local LUGS (very, meaning a university or a town) and instructions on duplicating the disc for hand-to-hand distribution within that group. These instructions cover the same set of requirements you and I have discussed, which is to say, different printing requirements based on budget and more importantly available print capabilities. [OK - this is getting long, suffice to say, I have my eye on some specifics and will get same to a our wiki and post a link] > > My problem is that I do not have the ability to have a file that size on > my hosting account, so I cannot host the ISO myself.

I'll make sure the files I have are current and up to date with what is on libo-na.us and create a test ISO and start the upload - expect tomorrow evening to be able to see the iso on the portal, will send an email as soon as it is done. This will be the all-platforms files, English, only. //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/us/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
