Aren't the same people that have trouble buying t-shirts going to have trouble buying CDs to burn to give to people? I totally agree that CDs are more important. And I also totally agree on having a standalone DVD readable format video too. In our case though, I think we'd need fewer of those though since everyone on our campus has a laptop with a DVD player. You could, potentially, make all the orders special orders. Have a form online and give the groups $X and let them spend that money however they best see fit. This would be more work for SFI, of course, but I think it would ensure happier groups around the globe and would allow the groups to tailor the situation best for their situation. Alternatively, you could have 3 packages to pick from. A package with/out shirts and with/out non-computer DVDs and so forth. That would cut down some of the work on the SFI. Trying to lump everybody together is going to leave some groups without their best situation. That being said, I'll be happy with whatever we get! Douglas A.

I understand that the funding is an issue but please don't cut it on the openCD, if anything ditch the T-shirts or use them to help fund the sending out of CDs by charging for them - I know I'd be happy to pay for a T-shirt!
+2 on that thought from Adelaide.
I'd be happy to pay for T-shirts too, but I understand that paying 10 €/AU$ is quite difficult in many countries, it's something to keep in mind.
-1 on that thought from Barcelona. :-)
