What exactly is the point of the music? I
can see videos and such being educational/useful, but are the Sex Pistols going
to do their rendition of “God Save Microsoft”? Don’t get me
wrong, some death metal grunting about FOSS would float my boat, but I fail to
see the value in this when it comes to SFD. I could see examples of music
created in open source software being useful, but that kind of seems like a
niche. Plus, just having the music doesn’t tell the individual how
hard/easy it was to create the piece in the software.

Re: [SFD-announce] CDs to be dispatched to SFD teams
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.
Robert.
