Sounds like a fair plan to me, I'm sure that there's a video of RMS talking about GPL/FOSS etc that's open source, also the recent BBC episode of CLICK (http://www.bbc.co.uk/click) mentions Ubuntu and other OSS (but I'm not sure how well it does this!)

Would it be possible for the DVD to contain ISOs of Ubuntu, EdUbuntu, TheOpenCD, Knoppix, SLED[0] etc? That way we'd only need one disk and could get all the distros from it!

I'm hoping to build some sort of freedom toaster for the event, so if I can just copy a load of ISOs from a disk to the HDD, that would be great!

Cheers,

M.
