I would be all for that too. I was just hoping to get most used in the
very near future and don't really think it would be bad to even give
everyone at LISA a copy. I'm not sure what the expected attendance is
there though. Probably couldn't distribute all of them there anyway if
there are thousands.

They are in Red Hat storage somewhere so I don't think FAmNA needs to
be involved beyond possibly receiving some of them.
