I'm not sure all of you have Failbook, but if you look here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lubuntu.official/permalink/791789804211175/ You'll see that someone purchased a Lubuntu 14.10 disc from OSDisc.com that appears to be an old pre-release. It doesn't work and is basically non-functional.
The OP says he's bought CDs from these guys for years and has never had a problem, so I guess we'll see what happens. I do believe we should keep an eye on this and maybe work with them to do an audit. If they're providing non-release images, that's a problem that we need to stop in its tracks. The other thing is that this has me thinking about us providing our own CDs. It's possible to get bit-by-bit labeled CDs with jewel cases, tray art, and 2-panel insert from kunaki.com for a mere $1. They can set up a retail website where people can make purchases. We could set up the PayPal account to be that of linux.com or Open Source Alliance or something similar. There's also a general fund I know Ubuntu has where the money goes to help LoCos. It's only $1 a CD anyways. Oh, and they do DVDs, too. This way we actually have control over the process. The only problem with Kunaki is that the software for uploading art and data is Windows-only. I have an old XP install in a virtual machine that I use for the purpose. If time is not an issue, you can mail the information to them.
