This is a godsend! :) I've been doing some advocacy work, and making my
own FreeBSD CD's... but even with cheap computer-show CD-R media, this is
still a fairly significant expense (not to mention a lot of work and tying
up my machine :) ) There are some big-time advocacy projects that I would
like to initiate, but could not do that until now (because of the above
issues). With these CD's, I'd have all the ammunition I need to go in
fighting.
Anyway, here's the info you asked for:
1. 100 CD's should cover my needs.
2. If you will be mailing by U.S. Postal mail, please use Address #1, as
this is the address I receive mail at. But if you will be using UPS,
FedEx, etc., please use Address #2, since P.O. Boxes do not accept
non-USPS deliveries.
Address #1:
Donald Burr
P.O. Box 91212
Santa Barbara, CA 93190-1212
Address #2:
Donald Burr
1610 De La Vina St., #8
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
3. Here's how i plan on using these.
a. In the near future (the actual date is still being worked out),
I'll be doing a demonstration to our PC User's Group, on FreeBSD. Having
some *free* CD's to hand out at the show (plus information flyers that
I'll be slapping together) would be real nice.
b. I'll also be doing a presentation to my school's Computer Club, on
the same subject.
c. Our school currently uses Linux for its "intro to UNIX" class. I
would like to remedy this. :) To wit, I'd like to hand out copies to the
instructors, department heads, maybe some students, and I'll probably end
up doing a demonstration for the school bigwigs.
d. My friend owns a computer store (one of those "mom and pop" type
outfits), that handles a LOT of "big business" clients (local universities,
corporations, etc.). I've pitched the idea to him to hold an "in-service"
of sorts, that their clients can attend, to basically "sell" them on
using FreeBSD for their needs, and he expressed interest in doing this.
Naturally, I'll be running the show. :) Again, being able to hand them a
CD, with information sheet, and saying "here, give it a try on your home
system, etc." would be a good thing.
e. I'm sure I could think of more uses/advocacy projects, and I
probably have, but I can't recall them at the moment...
I solemnly swear that I will *not* sell any of these CD's.
Thanks to you, and to FreeBSD!
