Neal, can you please send requests asking for CDs for both the SCaLE (at least 100) and CLS West (100) events in the next two weeks? This way existing reserves can be used for other purposes. I've given away about 50 burned copies already and continue to give away burned copies. I understand the reasoning for rationing, but I do not understand the reasoning behind not even asking for CDs for legitimate events. Robert, any help you can provide in the way of discs would be most appreciated unless you have other plans for them already. I hope you are able to fulfill Aaditya's request. Every time I go to a user group I give away three or more depending on the subjective estimate that I always make about them getting used. I am working with the Berkeley LUG on several upcoming events and projects, SFSU on a series of 12 seminars on open source and visit many of the groups listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups on an ongoing basis. I have not tallied up a total request, I simply burn as many as I can to keep up with demand. This takes significant time, effort and money but has in my subjective view been very successfully received. As I said, I'm sure I will give away at least 250 before the Lucid release with or without pressed copies.
