Re: A local Shipit service for regional users

Sounds like a nice way to provide a value add for regional Aus and I'm happy to be part of the experiment. I'm prepared to fund $20 worth of CDs. Ie, I''ll burn / ship 8 CDs @2.50 each. More if the potage is less :) Is there any Ubuntu CD art work we can access? cheers James On Mon, Mar 15, 201
