Ubuntu NH Remix 9.04

[Arc Riley]

We're thinking more about freely distributed and sponsored by local
companies.  The idea stems from it costing us the same to order a bulk of
CDs that are shipped overseas as it does to have 2500 CDs repped with full
color art and cardboard sleves.

Conventions are often covered 100% by sponsors, so why not a locally branded
CD containing the names and info about local businesses that support it?
These places double as distribution points along with organizations with an
interest in promoting it as well (ie, libraries who we've setup search of
their catalog on).

Introduce yourself to the LoCo mailing list :-)
