I just sent the master CD's to CafePress for our store.. They are Install and |
| 2 |
Package CDs for each of x86, amd64, ppc, and sparc64. The cds will be |
| 3 |
offered on the store seperately. |

Does anyone want to step up and work on a CD cover (needs to be a standard |
| 6 |
square graphic, imagine the cd outer and inner circles inside of it)? If |
| 7 |
not, I'll see what I can do over the weekend. |

While we are on the CP topic, we are up to $166 in commissions on non-cd gear |
| 10 |
that we already have available. We'll do some GWN/website announcements next |
| 11 |
week once the CDs are up and available. |

As for future releases, I'm cc'ing releng leads on this but I'd like to get an |
| 14 |
idea of how we want to handle that. I don't know that it is fair to get the |
| 15 |
iso's beforehand, and we definitely don't want to advertise any future dates |
| 16 |
and raise expectations. If anything, when the time comes maybe edit the |
| 17 |
existing releases to say "2005.1 coming soon!" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So as it looks now, once a release is made we could burn and ship master cds |
| 20 |
on that same day, and depending on the shipping method (overnight?) have them |
| 21 |
on the store within ~48 hours. A weekend or Friday release would extend this |
| 22 |
delay. Again, I'm not asking for special treatment or favors here, but want |
| 23 |
to open up the floor for discussion/ideas on how to do this in the future. |
