We want to minimize expenses and make this a sustainable effort, but at

actually shipping the CDs but visiting and explaining why they should
have them.

My vision for this project was slightly different. Shipit can ship
Loco teams cds without covers. My idea was that Loco teams would take
those cds, and purchase DVD covers. They would then print the DVD
cover and an insert in their local langage. Thus when a new version
came out, they could ship the library a new cd to put into the
existing DVD cover.
But in order to see if this is sustainable, we should trial in a few
libraries and see if the cds are being checked out.
Not that different - I had added a DVD case in the ToDo list :) However
I think it' s not practical to ask libraries to replace the CDs in the
existing DVD cases. In terms of sustainability, I think it' s a
necessary complement to the ShipIt initiative.
I think Ubuntu CDs/DVDs should be registered as a periodic publication,
get an ISSN and maintain a localized (bilingual, in this case), DVD
insert. This would also provide for local LiveCD remastering scenarios.
Plus there would always be older versions for historical and archival
purposes.
In fact I have just requested an ISSN for "Ubuntu Linux - Canadian
Edition" (takes 1-2 days), and created a generic "periodic publication"
page for ISSN-related information:
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ISSN
We'll see if it gets accepted ;)
