Larry,<br><br>I can&#39;t imagine why you wouldn&#39;t be allowed to burn your own CDs, but I strongly suggest burning copies of the open CD first, as the collection is highly polished and targeted at the standard user. Take a look at it on

<div>This is new to me (because I&#39;m new to FOSS), but I think celebrating this day&nbsp;is an outstanding idea. Thanks to all who are putting it together.</div>
<div><br>I&#39;m gathering from Janet&#39;s e-mail that we are allowed to burn our own CDs, but&nbsp;I&#39;ll ask just to be sure: Are we allowed, enabled, encouraged, etc., to assemble&nbsp;our own FOSS CDs to distribute at the event as well? Our &quot;greatest hits&quot; or &quot;top 10&quot; as it were?
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The reason I ask is that&nbsp;one of our organizers&nbsp;brought up&nbsp;having a&nbsp;100% truly free (as in freedom,&nbsp;moreso than&nbsp;free beer) disk&nbsp;containing distros, like gNewSense,&nbsp;that do not include any proprietary software.&nbsp;</div>

<br>
<br>the linux distribution *you* know is probably a good one to burn.<br>ubuntu is popular because it has a chunky desktop community but<br>burning something you feel comfortable demoing is probably the best<br>fit locally?
