300 is a lot. I wouldn't even dare to make 300 disks at home. That takes ages. As we've learned from previous events that people usually only want the latest release, it is pointless to create 300 disks with 6.2 now when 6.3 is just a matter of a few months.
I was thinking more along the lines of doing this once, and using them for other meetup's and conferences as well.
I guess we should just create the disks we will need for an event. Btw... can we have an ISO for double-layer DVDs? Or maybe even a i386/x86_64 Live/Install "Monster"-DVD? We could make that spin private so people can get it at conferences only :) The point is: DL-DVDs may be expensive. But when you print an image onto each disk with an inkjet two single-layer DVDs become more expensive than one double-layer DVD.
Creating the iso is easy, but does the existing livedvd media not give us something like that ? its easily installable as well.
Concerning the printer: I planned on buying a Brother DCP-J925DW anyway. So I could just buy it right now, print a bunch of CentOS DVDs and get a refund for the ink and the disks used :)
ok, i dont think we have the time for anything else ( if we want to have them done for Fosdem ).
