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

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

Aren't the same people that have trouble buying t-shirts going to have 
trouble buying CDs to burn to give to people?  I totally agree that CDs 
are more important.  And I also totally agree on having a standalone DVD 
readable format video too.  In our case though, I think we'd need fewer 
of those though since everyone on our campus has a laptop with a DVD player.

You could, potentially, make all the orders special orders.  Have a form 
online and give the groups $X and let them spend that money however they 
best see fit.  This would be more work for SFI, of course, but I think 
it would ensure happier groups around the globe and would allow the 
groups to tailor the situation best for their situation.  Alternatively, 
you could have 3 packages to pick from.  A package with/out shirts and 
with/out non-computer DVDs and so forth.  That would cut down some of 
the work on the SFI.  Trying to lump everybody together is going to 
leave some groups without their best situation.

That being said, I'll be happy with whatever we get!
