Ambassadors can choose to charge a marginal service fee. marginal or nominal? cost of Fedora DVD = media price + Rs 20.00 Template?

A first step might be to gather a list of interesting open-source database software, and then to package more of it for Fedora.

Plenty of teams will be taking part in the event (I am coordinating the Kolkata team IlugCalinfo ) Is it possible for somebody to make a custom spin including: 1. Mainly destop oriented packages (updated to stable Fedora10) 2. All Open Office stuff with good collection of templates, Dictonaries 3. Scribus, GIMP, Koffice, Gnumeric, Docbook, Lua, Quanta etc (latest stable) 4. TexLive and IDEs 5. Lots of Advocacy related documentation + Whitepapers, Technical reports, Tutorials etc (for DF-Day): (I can help) 6. Documentation More (please suggest) (a non official spin can be considered for some locales ... for rpmfusion things) I think many teams would be able to make copies and do lot more. Best A.
