USA CD Production

attachment:cds.png

A number of LoCo teams face the problem that they run out of offical CDs from Canonical well before their allotment is due to be renewed; to aid these teams we wish to produce batches of CDs for each of the major ubuntu versions so we can distrobute more freely without worrying that we will run out money.BRBROrganizer: David Thacker

Project Cycle Stage: Preparation, research and designBR
