Is it possible to work with the local Linux magazine publishers like
LinuxForU to see if they can bundle the Fedora DVD with their magazine?
I believe the magazine is affordable to most, and this can help lighten
the media request load.
Linux For You already includes every release of Fedora the month after
it has been released IIRC. Fedora is pretty popular in India but LFY
doesn't reach everywhere and people are not aware of the magazine of
that it includes Fedora for that particular month. Pointing more people
to magazines like this is a pretty good idea and one I have done so
personally on a few occasions.
