Sorry I'm sharing my opinion via this mail. I am never available on a Wednesday night to participate to the meeting.
about topic 2 (the ubuntu CD): a) the wiki talks about 919 Euro for 1000 CDs. Canonical sells their CDs for far less (158 Euro for 200 CDs). I think they deserve our support. b) If we decide to make a local CD, I would NOT outsource the work outside to Morocco, China, or other countries. It beats the object of going local. If a local option is not feasible, why not outsource it to Canonical? Has anyone tried to ask them? Just my 2 cents. Regards, Jan.
