I agree. I think that a friendly/attractive burning/coffee-machine
combined with a physical handbook could be a very interesting
combination for the future :)

I just proposed to a friend of mine (Fedora and Raspberry Pi user) if
we can create together a burning machine with an LCD screen and a
couple of buttons and LEDs. It would be nice to have everything inside
a nice enclosure: it would be portable, quite cheap and distinctive.
I hope we could realize it before our next Release Party and share
everything with you.

We should decide what to do with F23: we could make 1000 DVDs while we
develop/test those alternative and consider to move away from DVDs for
F24/F25. It could be a bit too risky to make such a big change without
an appropriate transition period.

I didn't know about multiwrite: thank you.
