It appears that the end user wrote in to both projects and expected a media free of charge. The slice of conclusion that can be drawn is that (s)he desired to have a Linux desktop. That's an upside. Given the scale of demand on the Freemedia project I had earlier tentatively proposed an idea about accepting a pledge of contribution from someone and the Freemedia volunteer meeting that pledge (for example, I pledge ~2000 INR for a period to a specific volunteer and (s)he commits to using the money for sending out media). That didn't go far but I think that's probably one way the demand can be met. Having said that, I still feel that relying solely on Freemedia as a means to provide Fedora media to potential participants is asking too much of what is essentially a labor of love. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> _______________________________________________ india mailing list india@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/india
