Looking for old Fedora branded media

[Scott Dowdle]

Greetings,

I take old CDs and DVDs and make wall art out of them... basically by tacking the disks to
the wall to form letters that spell stuff.  For example, I have a wide variety of Linux
install media (branded, not self-burned) that I tacked to the wall to spell the word
"Linux"... and a bunch of old Windows / Microsoft media that I spelled
"Windows" with.  I do this to decorate the rather bare computer lab / classroom
walls where I work (Montana State University Bozeman).

Example:
http://www.montanalinux.org/files/images/srinivas-and-art.preview.jpg (lots of Red Hat
media)

I'm looking for old Fedora media so I can spell the word "Fedora".  I
currently have a handful of Fedora 11 - 14 media but am looking for any older media that
people might have... or more 11 - 14 too.  I wonder with what Fedora release they started
making the branded media?

If anyone has any old media that they don't want anymore, please consider mailing it
to me (address in signature below).  Again, I'm looking for the branded,
professionally done stuff, not the home-made stuff... unless of course you have some fancy
looking home-made stuff.

If anyone has Red Hat disks or Ubuntu disks... or any other distros, I'll take those
too because eventually, I'll probably want to spell those too or make additional
"Linux" displays.

Thanks in advance,

I have branded media from:
* FC5
* FC6
* F7 (Disc only, not a printed sleeve)
* F8 (plain cover for live CD; Werewolf cover and disc for DVD)

...that I can send one of each. I also have a bunch of F...12? media, 
and onwards.  Someone very kind brought these to FUDCon:Tempe last year 
and it's all been sitting in my pantry (next to where the leftover cups 
and alcohol used to be.)

Wow.  I'll take any media you are willing to snail mail me.  If the media is in
sleeves, that's great, but not required because I only tack the media to the wall.  At
some point I may end up using sleeves as a form of tiled wallpaper for decoration, but I
haven't gotten there yet.

I assume the expense will be small enough where you can just eat it... but if not, I can
re-reimburse you for the cost of postage.

Thanks,

Consider it eaten.  I would *love* to see
the final product, though - I 
am sure it would make some great artwork that Marketing or Design could 
use for various projects. :)

I usually take a picture two and post it to my website anyway so I'll be sure to pass
along the URL when done.

Thanks again,

Hi Scott,

I probably still have a fair amount of old pressed media from around
F10 and possibly some other odds and ends. Finding a good use for this
isn't easy so I'd be really happy to help your art supplies grow. :)

IIRC the pressed media in those days has pretty plain "art" on the
media itself with the more interesting art on the sleeves. Would you
want 50 of them? 100 of them? I'm not sure what I have left but I'm
sure it is that much at least.

John

Plain is fine.  As I said in my reply to Robyn, I may find a use for the sleeves in the
future as well.

I'll take whatever you are willing to part with... and pay to snail mail to me...
although I can reimburse if desired.

Thanks,
