I think the original idea is to have nice beautiful media to
distribute and USB disks are still way to expensive to distribute
free.

coming back to ordering new CD's for distribution

With the hope that your seminar presentation goes off well - there
will be a lot of curious people who will want CD's to this "free"
software.

Other can feed in there - but when free CD's of anything are available
a lot of people will make a grab for it even if they don't require it.
 You could consider charging a small amount for the CD's - maybe Rs 5
or something. It is not as good as "free" but the folks who "buy" it
will be more careful with what they do.

You could also keep some CD's aside for curious people who "show
interest" and keeness andd give it to them.

The money you get could go back to Ubuntu or some other FOSS work.

best wishes for your presentation.
