Of course, done incorrectly and it makes the opensource/free software 
community look like a disorganized mess.  If I remember correctly, the 
original email to this thread asked people to make their own cds with 
whatever opensource/free software they could.  Why not collect up ideas 
and make one cd and put together a good howto/readme doc on it to assist 
people in using the software?  If there are 15 different CDs at this 
event, each with their own content, that just looks sloppy.  I just hope 
nobody puts a readme on their cd that just says "RTFM".
