Actually that has been posted to the list numerous times dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org is the location where we will build the dosc - that right now throws a 404 error, because I rearrange some pages in the SS admin screen and it didn't like that - I WILL have that fixed today, no excuses. north-america.libreofficebox.org is the distribution site for the disc image. > It would be nice, IMO, that the > marketing@ would be using the same name as the NA web pages would be. Not necessarily IMO - please remember this is only one project the group is working on and I would say that although it is important it is not the most important. > It will be nice to not have to download and then upload the newest > versions of the install files, to the libreoffice-na.us testing site.

Right - and I will do everyting necessary to see to it that by July 7th there is no reason to use the libreoffice-na.us site for anything beyond another distribution point for the .iso image - in other words to have all of the working files moved and 'working' at dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org And to have an .iso image for download available at north-america.libreofficebox.org List later goal actually could, might, even happen first - using the .iso built from the current layout.
