It would be great if you can!
If there is anything you think I could do to help with you
getting/being here, please let me know?

That is what I usually do, very simple. I hav ecompoised a A4 sheet
folded wrapper to explain things which works ok. Some OpenCDs would be
useful if you think you can commit to it. I am having to burn in
stages, I am up to a count of 30 CDs to date. Since the day is about
foss, it is not limited to linux of course, so th OpenCD is a prime
item, and SFDay has a special edition. If you are able to burn some of
theses, please let me know? if you wish, phone 01344 421252).
I am asking (through Alan Pope) for 400 CDs from Canonical, I am not
sure these will be confirmed though, fingers crossed. I think we will
be able to distribute quantities during the day, hour by hour, from 10
am to 4pm, as follows (dons guessing hat)
estimated handouts = 40+60+80+80+60+40 and since Saturday in the Mall
is family time, then lots of edubuntu will be accepted. I expect CDs
to be accepted in pairs - an OpenCD and one Linux live CD.
I am planning 500 leaflets, although more will not be difficult.

Yes please, decide your quantity? The openCD (SFD edition) iso is at
