• 8/25/2007 Oh happy day we finished all the packets! A total of 120 were done, I hope that's enough I'll bring blanks just in case.
• 8/22/2007 We have half that's 50 of the packets done and got flyer's printed too
• 8/20/2007 Started burning the SFD edition of the Open CD - I think I need a burning station!
• 8/18/2007 Packets almost done all I have left to do is burn he rest of the OpenCDs and print the labels.

• Each packet (dvd case) contains
• One Open CD disk
• One Ubuntu 7.04 disk
• Instructions on how to install the OpenCD and Ubuntu disk (printed on both sides)
• Tri-fold Open Source brochure

• 8/6/2007 Last post I said we confirmed the location, well the paper work is turned in, but I have no confirmation as of yet, I'm 99% sure but you never know. However the information packets are really shaping up, we have the outside DVD case inserts done, and the Open Source tri-fold brochure finished had half of them printed.
