Cody - Good to know that LoCos are listed on the Wiki, I hadn't thought of that as a resource. Perhaps reference to them could be located in a more prominent place for those who are looking to receive a CD by mail or from a local group? Also, I understand that resources are hard to come by. While my original idea encompassed providing a community-based alternative to Ship-It for the Xubuntu distro, it would necessarily entail mundane details like server space, code, volunteers, etc. and I have no idea how to go about that myself. Maybe somebody could get their LoCo involved more along those lines and get this idea kickstarted, who knows... Pasi - Thank you for the invitation, I'd love to help any way I can. I only fear I may not have the necessary time or talent for whatever assistance you may need. Let me know where I can help and I'll do what I can. Folks tell me I could do well writing advertising copy if I only had the credentials... :) -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
