I can see how a USB stick would be a more elegant way of distributing
the distro. The price would seem to be the only problem that I can
see. Framakey (Framasoft) is offering a 4gig stick for 19Euro and 4Eu
shipping. A smaller and less expensive stick could be offered with
just the LO distro on the stick. The cost would have to be kept as low
as possible. Framasoft carries the portable OOo, I imagine that they
will eventually carry the portable LibreOffice as well. I am not sure
if he has pronounced himself on this.
imho, if we're not running a commercial enterprise (or even if we are)
this is actually quite expensive. Okay, I bought SD cards not USB
sticks, but I've just paid £9 for 2x2Gb, retail. Dunno how easy it is to
copy in bulk onto SD chips but I would have thought it would be easy to
get "card plus reader" for under £5 each in bulk. What's the
Euro/sterling exchange rate? Last I heard I thought they were close to
parity :-(
This discussion should be move to the marketing list. Framakey was just
an example of content packaged/distributed on an USB device. In several
places we find them for really less expensive prices and also we can get
sponsoring from different organisms and govt.
Kind regards
