--- Begin Message ---Hi folks - I wanted to give an update on Canonical's current thinking about Edgy CDs. Our current plan is to keep ShipIt open but to continue shipping Version 6.06 LTS CDs rather than Edgy CDs. The rationale for this is that we want to focus the investment we make in ShipIt where it will have the largest impact, and continuing to support the long term supported release is more beneficial than sending free CDs for the latest, cutting edge release. We will still produce CDs for Edgy, but are looking to make them available through other channels. Specifically, - every approved LoCo team will receive a shipment of 500 CDs ("approved" means teams that have been approved by the Community Council) - we would like to find a set of official distributors for the CDs. These distributors will be required to pay for the CDs (to help cover our production costs) and then can resell them. We are initially targeting the low cost online sellers of Linux CDs and would like to get at least one in every major geographic region. That way users without the bandwidth to download the latest version can still get an "official" CD for a few euros/dollars/pounds. *If you have suggestions of reliable companies/sites that can do this in your region, please email Christina Armstrong at [EMAIL PROTECTED] directly.* Please note that these should be professional and reliable organisations that are already in the fulfillment business (i.e,. that the have the infrastructure to process and respond to thousands of orders per week- this isn't something you want to take on in your spare time). - We would also make the CDs available to anyone else who wants to purchase them. Some details to be worked out, but the current thinking is that we would make them available at the same price (probably something like EUR 1.50/CD), there would be a minimum order size of about 100, payment in advance. Note that of course Ubuntu is still available for free - the new release will still be available for free download, and the artwork will all still be made available on DIYMarketing so that people can make their own CDs. But this process will allow people to get the Canonical CDs (which I'm told people want), faster than they currently can through ShipIt, and at nominal cost. And note that 6.06 LTS CDs will still be available for free from ShipIt. As I said, there are still some details to be worked out, but I wanted to share our current thinking with you. If you know a reliable company that would like to distribute the CDs and has the existing infrastructure to do so, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Jane -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
