Media

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

I know this was mentioned earlier in the free-media list but I feel this
list is a more appropriate discussion forum.

I personally feel we should give the options to our 'customers' as to
whether they want the live-cd's or the dvd's.  As Rahul mentioned some
people do not have dvd capable drives and I personally feel giving that
option for the live-cd's would be an added bonus.

I would love your thoughts but I don't think it would be any extra
effort for us to hold 5 iso's instead of 3.  Or maybe its 6 iso's I
haven't had a good look.  Either way I don't mind I just thought because
of our new live-cd's we should advertise that fact.  I still see forum
posts saying we only have dvd's when in fact this is not correct.

Regards,


Marc

Yeah.. I feel the same way too. It will be easy for us to send on cd.

I think the most important thing right now is to just Fill Media 
requests.  We'll deal with the types once we're caught up because the 
choice won't come into effect until next month anyway.

We're 50 in the hole for FC6 on the May list and the list is overflowing 
as of this morning (meaning we'll have more than the 200 Thomas set for 
quota)

If you don't want to fill them directly there are options you can promote.

[1] Thomas is taking donations
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Donation

[2] Encourage those who buy a disc to Sponsor Media
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/SponsoredMedia?

[3] Encourage those you know who are selling Media to become sponsors or 
to buy media with sponorships built in

The problem I have, is that I want to contribute but I don't have easy
access to a DVD burner, so while I could make about 50 live cds I can't
do any DVDs (atm :))
Of course, making 50 Live-CDs is moot as I can only really ship to the
UK and there are only about 8 or so in the list...

I think it would be more helpful to focus on what you can do.  Get the 
word out about donations and Sponsorships would be beyond helpful.
