The release should be the 15th of May. Our big release party in France
is the 2nd of June.
If we could make it, fine. If not, coud we try to have a local
production? I could come back with a budget request soon (I am waiting
for the reply to take action).
In an other side, we could also see for the general EMEA production
here in france, as proposed for last release. Price was quite the same
as for the Czech vendor (but the vendor was shipping directly to
several location, that would be faster). Quote needed, or we don't
check and stay with last vendor?

Please, could we include a fixed amount, predefined for the French
community? We don't need installation media, people only want Live
media here.
If we still do the multi desktop/arch one, that would be great. At
least 700 would do it (we have our huge Solution Linux the 19-21th of
June). If not, Live x86_64 only.
I would remind you also that our default download option is now x86_64
(we are going to have less 32b requests).
