Hi
FAMSCo allocates budget, and the event organizer takes care of the rest. In some cases, we have local leaders in place who help with efficiency by generating a bunch of swag locally and then redistributing it later on.
I ve got some suggestions on this front.I have satisfied most of the DVD requests that i get. As an ambassador, i burn the images on to the DVD and give it to people requested. I get personal emails and i reply to them and i help them to get the DVDs. My suggestion is that if we can collect some metrics on how many DVD requests are from India or APAC it would be helpful for FAMSCO to take decisions on budgeting etc or could also be used for some reference. I also understand that the Fedora Free Media request is available but the Media requests that ambassadors get personally could also be tracked in the Wiki page. I feel this metrics would help us.
These are just my suggestions. Hope you don't mind :)
Cheers, Balaji

Right, that page needs to be removed as soon as possible, because it is totally old and outdated from a process point of view.
We are trying to follow this model:

The best thing that you can do is think about how many Live CDs or DVDs you would like, and contact one or two local production companies to you for quotes, and then let us know what you hear back, so we can factor that into the budget request.
For India, I would highly recommend contacting Sankarshan and Rahul for local help in mass-producing CDs and DVDs. There is a fund of money set aside specifically for that purpose in India, and they might be able to make it trivially easy for you to get stuff.
I've cc'd them.
