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, 2010 at 10:52 PM, Jared Norris <jrnor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good evening all, > > With the release of Lucid Lynx approaching us sooner rather than later > one idea I had that I would like to put out there to the mailing list > was a bit of a Shipit type service (see https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ for > the official version) that aims at delivering the new release much > sooner than the quoted 10 weeks from the website.
