[Spam:11.5] [SFD-discuss] Re: [SFD-announce] CDs to be dispatched to SFD teams

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

What exactly is the point of the music?  I can see videos and such being
educational/useful, but are the Sex Pistols going to do their rendition of
"God Save Microsoft"?  Don't get me wrong, some death metal grunting about
FOSS would float my boat, but I fail to see the value in this when it comes
to SFD.  I could see examples of music created in open source software being
useful, but that kind of seems like a niche.  Plus, just having the music
doesn't tell the individual how hard/easy it was to create the piece in the
software.

To be clear, the suggestion is that the CD we send doesn't contain any
software: it will likely contain only music and video footage.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions - keep them coming. It is very helpful
for us to get an idea of what teams are looking for from us.

Robert.
