Sophie, Does the above link refer to possible grants from a government or foundation? Something that could help cover the costs of distribution by CD, DVD or other media? If so, that is a very promising avenue to pursue. Yes, it's a kind of foundation, it will need some work and we shouldn't take it for granted, but it's a very interesting possibility to bring software and contents where it's very difficult to get it. It has to be dedicated to education, peace, women education, etc. In any case, the idea of sponsorships for free CDs mailed to new users is worth considering. Perhaps sponsors would ask to advertise on the exterior of the case the media is shipped within, in exchange for covering the cost? (Netflix envelopes all include ads inside the package, which must help defray their operating costs.) Yes, may be, and I like that we consider it when possible.

To be part of the message I am working on for the website list. My thinking is a copy of the CSS files and build a framework that any supplier site could use, with slight modifications. Yes. That is a great idea. I am not sure about the costs, I am a little worried that, especially for the US, if we go on a big marketing push, that offering free CD/DVD copies may be a little too expensive. I am in Canada so, maybe a little less ... although, Novell sent 3 DVD copies of StarOffice to every school in the province of Ontario. That would most have likely been in the hundreds of copies, if I were to copy this with LO. I would not just mail to a school. I would rather contact someone and find out how many would be needed/used. I have a school that I sent 30 disk for them to use as lending disk from their computer labs. Another time I mailed 20 disk to a club to give to computer students that were taking a class. I can only speak from the experience at my school where I teach. The 3 CD's were left in the Librarian's care. I promoted the use of the suite and it was most popular with the staff and some parents. The fact that Sun was promoting a help support line sold it. On the other hand, OOo was easily adopted by the students. From my point of view, it was still a success. But yes, always better to pre-qualify your disc distribution. BTW, would you know in what packages (envelopes) you were sending these out. We could work out these little details on the wiki too. Was the postage cost the same or did you have to get the envelope weighed? Was it in the general mail system or was it by parcel post or registered mail? You could tell us of the process you went through to mail out a CD/DVD copy. I use 6.5 by 9.5 inch clasp envelopes that I pickup from an office supply store. I use slim style cases, but others seem to use regular CD/DVD sleeves, to hold the disk. When I started I would take the disk to the local post office and have them weighted. Now I just put on the stamps and mail them from home. When having them weighed the cost was either 98 cents or $1.52, it depended on the clerk and how they saw the package. Since I started mailing from home I put a 1.00 US stamp and just mail them. I have not had any problems with returned for postage yet so that is what I stick with. The disk are mailed through the US Postal Service first class, the size and weight being close to that of one of the fancy sound greeting cards that you see that plays music or sound clip when opened. For those that need more than one disk per address there are other options depending on the quantity need. All total it cost me less than $1.50 to burn, label, package and mail a single disk. I use Imation disk that I buy in bulk when I catch them on sale at the office supply store, $10.00 for 100 disk. The cases I get from a discount store, $5.00 for 25 cases. The labels I get from www.worldlabel.com, 100 sheets/200 labels for $12.95 + shipping, and they have templates for OOo/LibO. The envelopes I do not remember right off but $5.00 for 100 envelopes sounds about right. I keep only two or three disk on hand ready to mail so that I do not have wasted disk if there is a new version released. As an added service I drop _one_ email to those that have ordered/reordered disk since the last major release. HTH Andy Thanks for all of this.

Thanks a lot Dave and Ben. Yes, we should have a spot for those who will burn CD/DVD version of LibO. We'll have to make sure that we put one on the Drupal site.

If this is permissible. I am located in Tennessee, USA. This would take care of folks with dial-up internet connections. Dave, I think this is a good idea. In the past, some OOo community members sold installer CDs on Ebay and moved at least 100 units a week (this was from just one family I spoke with). Ebay had a policy against selling software CDs, even FOSS, so they ended up abandoning the project. However, if you can find a good platform (maybe Etsy or CafePress?), I think you can provide a valuable service and produce some income too. In terms of the software licensing, you are fully free to do this. Ultimately, we should put contact info for CD sellers on the website download page. We just need to ensure we fairly represent everyone who wants to set up such an operation. For now, though, go for it! -Ben Benjamin Horst bho...@mac.com 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com Thanks a lot Dave and Ben.
