[FOSE] Update on DVD handouts and *BSD question.

[David A. Cafaro]

Hmm, all good ideas, have to see if they do DVD/CD distributions as  
well, OpenOffice CDs would be great.  Anyone want to head up  
contacting these organizations to see if they would like to join us  
for a Day or so and/or contribute giveaways?

Also, and update on Fedora, looks like I may be able to get a couple  
hundred DVD's from them, they've been very quick with the responses,  
their just trying to figure out how many they can send our way.
