FreeMedia and spread CD/DVD on events have different goals.
In my opinion FreeMedia is for people who dont have a chance to get Fedora 
over other channels - mostly they really want Fedora.
On events, the goal is bring people to use/try Fedora.
And they who want the CD/DVD, want it because they like the Artwork or are to 
lazy to download and burn Fedora.

Surely not - round about 70% of all households (destat) - but the barrier to 
get Fedora is low(free Broadband in Libraries).
With more of 5 events in Germany i can say - yes we need CD/DVD on events - 
but if we must produce them localy then we must sell them and then the people 
will not pay 1 € - for the DVD. So the marketing effect with dvd´s is gone. I 
look forward to see how LiveCD will work on events this year.

Thanks for the feedback!
