All contributions welcome, or just use the Wiki.
3) A list of Linux friendly shops on the DCLUG.
ditto - easier to keep up to date.
4) Donate some distros to the shop. Paul may already have some distros that were otherwise going to charity.
They may be comparatively old though.
5) Burn off Knoppix and stick DCLUG address on them. 6) Posters, displayed in shops, of LUG events. I don't have any labels for my CDRs so I will scribble the DCLUG URL on by hand for this pilot setup.
Stuck on paper labels printed in a home inkjet are not going to inspire any more confidence than a hand-written label with a CD-R pen. Formal printed CD-R discs are expensive, I haven't searched high and low but some examples: Commercial printing: CD-Rs screen printed with your own label design. 300 - £269 500 - £349 inkjet printed CD-Rs (printed directly onto the disc, not self-adhesive labels). 10 - £20 20 - £35 50 - £85 Disc only Duplication (silver CD's not CD-R's) 300 CDs - £499 (£250) The price shown in brackets is the cost of a re-run of the equivalent number. CD's may be cheap but we'd have to charge to use formal printing. £1.50 - £2 each inc VAT is about average. One site will print for 48p/disc (50 minimum order) + VAT if CD-R's are supplied. That seems a better deal - CD-R's don't have to cost 96p each but postage might bump up the overall price. http://www.rcs-limited.co.uk/cdr-copying-duplication-printing.asp Alternatively, dabs has a better option: Home writing and printing: CD-R 700MB 74Min 48x InkJet Printable - 100 Pack £34.99 inc VAT (£29.78 ex VAT quicklinx 2S4QWS Someone would need to have an inkjet that has a completely flat feed and able to deal with very thick 'paper' (plus broadband). Mine couldn't do it. Even with a spare (black) cartridge for their printer, that's only 50p each. However, it means complete control over the print run, easy updating of the image burnt onto the CDR and full control of the printed labelling. Buying from dabs and shipping to rcs might be workable: 35p each + postage + 56p printing = cheaper than the 1.70 all-in deal. Any idea how much a 100CD spindle would cost to post (and return)? It would allow us two print runs to cover updates to Knoppix. I'll contribute some funds if that helps. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
