CD/DVD cover markings

[Paul W. Frields]

As I was at a big expo over the course of this week, I discovered our
CD/DVD covers need a couple things:

1.  A great big link on the back cover to http://fedoraproject.org/ 

2.  A note that there are other kinds of discs available for download at
that URL.

3.  A note that people can *get involved* in Fedora.

One note could probably accomplish this:

    Visit http://fedoraproject.org/ to download other Fedora
    software, or learn how you can help.  (No experience necessary.)

These are all great, but I want to make sure this time that the version
number is on the cd jacket somewhere!  Every time I hand out one of those
Werewolf CDs, the next inevitable question is "What version is this?"

Cheers,

Clint

+1

I put in a request to the Art list for help in making a small,
rectangular image to print on a sheet of labels/stickers.  These get
applied to USB flash drives with Fedora on them.  Not much space to work
with, but a bit easier than get them printed on directly.

There are "standard" label sizes that I've seen in OO.org.  Maybe just
an SVG image for minor manipulation (spin name?) and sizing to fit on
whatever label you have.

You are not asked "Which architecture is it?" ;)

That is indeed on the CD/DVD cases.  Although, I've had requests for
x86_64.  But pressed versions those aren't currently
available, nor are the PPC versions.

Cheers,
