Sometime in February Lance Tost assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| 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".

i agree with you about the drawbacks associated with presenting a disjunct
image. i expressed this opinion to beth in a private email.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
