I'm guessing we can just get 200 DVD's and burn as needed. Not that I have any optical device anymore.
How about:-
64-bit DVDs (2 per set or could 6.2 be 'squashed' onto one DVD?) 32 & 64-bit LIVE CDs
It would mean 1 DVD and 2 CDs were required for one pack of disks which could be handed-out with a request the recipient shares the disks with others.
Volunteers - ask on main list - could do 10 of the DVD or CD and post them to an address in England, BRD etc. of intending FOSDEM attendees.
With a bit of planning Centos could have imported several hundreds / thousands from China at a very, very low price including MwSt and EU customs duty.
what planning and what would we do with thousands of these :) remember the shelf life is another issue, in 6 months, we need a new point release
Universities should, ideally, have people possessing enquiring minds. That is one distributing place. A walk around Brussels handing-out CDs/DVDs could get rid of more. Belgium has 3 languages: German, Belgium-French and Belgium-Dutch (Vlaams). English is understood by most computer fans. Mingling with the population and distributing disks should be fairly easy and an enjoyable experience.
