To be clear, the suggestion is that the CD we send doesn't contain any
software: it will likely contain only music and video footage.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions - keep them coming. It is very helpful for us to get an idea of what teams are looking for from us.

Personally, I tend to agree with whatever you would be able to send. We
can arrange for The OpenCD distribution locally, if absolutely necessary.

I'd like to suggest adding the Code breakers documentary to the mix, in
Ogg Theora format:

We have produced an english transcript available as .SRT subtitle and a
spanish translation of it. Other translations are being coordinated if
anyone's interested:

In this part of the world (Quebec, Canada), many people are now used to
DVDs, and most recent machines come wityh DVD readers. However CDs work
for everyone. So I would say if you send a master DVD we could
accomodate for reproduction of it.
