Re: Shipit: msg#00210

Subject: Re: Shipit
Etienne -


I was about to place my order for Breezy on ShipIt, and it occured to
me: since I will be attending UBZ, I might as well wait till then to
grab a bunch.  I would get my hands on them faster than through ShipIt,
and save a few bucks to the shipping fund in the process.  So my
questions are : will Breezy CD be ready for UBZ ?  If so, will there be
enough of them there so that I can grab a few hundreds ?
Breezy CDs are starting to ship now. First out the door are some high priority orders for LoCo Teams and conferences. We'll be bringing a large number (around 1000) to Montreal and there should be some available for you. I can't promise a specific number though - need to see how things go.

clients, family and various acquaintances.  With a little more time
ahead of me, I could probably distribute a thousand before Dapper come
out next spring.  Today, I had people contacting me to know if I will
have Breezy CD to hand them out.  I would not want to let them down ! :)
That's great! One of the things we'd like to focus on in the coming months is how to get the most mileage out of the CDs. We've learned that it is very easy to hand out large numbers of CDs. Now we need to focus on quality as well as quantity - i.e., turning hand-outs into installs and focusing the CDs on the people who can't get Ubuntu through other channels like downloads. Ideas welcome!

Cheers,
Jane
