Thanks, yes i do admit that this is having a slow rate of growth. But it will be steady. Our basic objective is to make Fedora available for all. I think it is beneficial for cybercafe owners too. They will be earning by burning CDs/DVDs and they too will be selling blank CDs/DVDs, event in that there is profit for them. I think of convinced properly we can make these people to distribute Fedora media. Moreover my main concern is that is burning and selling CDs/DVDs compleatly legal accross countries ? <div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/4 Gaurav Prabhu <<a href="mailto:g5_fosslover@yahoo.in">g5_fosslover@yahoo.in</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;" valign="top"> Nice Recommendation, but it has a very low rate of success. I think the individual members can stand up to the task of media distribution. Another thing will be nature of the cyber cafe holders, since most of them do not welcome such suggestions due to the fact they get nothing out of it. --- On Wed, 4/3/09, Bhanu Patial <<a href="mailto:bhanupat@fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">bhanupat@fedoraproject.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> From: Bhanu Patial <<a href="mailto:bhanupat@fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">bhanupat@fedoraproject.org</a>> Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora availability initiative To: <a href="mailto:fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a> Date: Wednesday, 4 March, 2009, 1:04 PM<div><div class="h5"> <div> Hi all, Fedora availability initiative I am just presenting an idea for making fedora available to everyone. Currently: 1. Fedora CD/DVD is downloadable (Peoples having high speed internet access can own it) 2. Available on very selected shops in very few cities. (Not everyone know these places) 3. Very limited information on web about shops selling it. (Many times if found these shops are not reachable to all. One may find nearest shop in other state.) 4. It will become tough for Fedora community to distribute free CD/DVD copies when it comes to a large number. Proposed solution. Almost every City/Town is having cyber cafes (Internet shops). We can take benefit of these. I’ll explain how it will work A Fedora Ambassador have to set up a network of cyber café owners in his state/town/city/area. Target cyber cafes nearby school, colleges and other educational intuitions. Thereafter ambassador’s job is to provide CD/DVD images to this network. The cafe owner have to display a board, can be a printout telling “Fedora 10 Available, buy your own CD/DVD and get it burnt for Rs 20 INR”. This amount should be constant across all cybercafe cafes in a state/town/city/area A blank DVD cost Rs 25 to Rs 30 in India + Rs 20 for burning is easily affordable. :) This will interest the café owners to sell it as they are getting money for the same. We will publish a web page which will have list of these vendors categorized by Country/State/City/Town so that these people can easily be searched.
