Hi all !
We're going to celebrate SFD on 21/9, but I found that opendisc's for 2012 SFD.
When will we have opendisc for this year ? We have 18 days before SFD's held.
Kind regards, Severus Hi!
Just an official response to this message as we should have made an announcement I guess. We feel that CD/DVD are devices from the past, most computers you buy nowadays are shipped without any CD/DVD drives and we were sending those to very few who actually couldn't download the files. In fact with enough preparation you can surely download the same content in your own language (we don't all speak English in our country). I think a better tool for us to work on is a USB burning station where people can come in with their own stick and get the software needed. I actually think there are existing projects doing similar things. Still we can definitely get in touch with the OpenDisc project and see whether we could have an updated version of the disc. Besides shipping 1 or 2 CDs is far from enough for any team and you had to burn the other 99 or 199 or 499 pieces of the puzzle. We've also considered getting a USB disk sponsor. Besides the fact that it's been hard to find new sponsors if someone was willing to do so it would still now really make sense to get 2 to 300 USB sticks of 16GB and shipped them to teams as the same problem of giving them away stands and the money equivalent would be much more valuable to the organization for other gifts or activities. So we'll send an email to OpenDisc... Thanks. Fred
