I understand the whole "you're too dang far away from me" thing.  It is 
something I hope can be solved by regional meetings.

There is no cost to the LOCOs for their shipment of about 300 cds (split 
up between 32 and 64bit, ubuntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu).  But that is 
all we get each release cycle.

I can of course send you some when I get the Intrepid shipment.  Plus, I 
would suggest that you get all your friends to request the free 10 
Canonical gives community members.  I know 10 isn't very many, but 
hopefully that will help.

So, right now I have you and Mark Jones from the KLUG to send out some 
disks to.  You may need to remind me when Intrepid is released.

Since Penguicon is always 1 week before the next Ubuntu release, we 
don't have to worry about having a ton on hand for that event (which is 
in May this year, again one/two weeks before Intrepid+1).

Best,

Greg
