I have enquired, and it is recommended that we send a copy of what we would
like in the library to

Deborah Olson
P O Box 1992
Victoria Street,
Wellington

( note spelling of name )

So, I expect that comes straight from you Jamie unless you want to pass it
along someone else given you are right in the middle of house moving?  The
package needs be something that can be put on the shelf, and is self
explanatory, given that most of the distributions are on the shelf there in
the fly leaf of books on the subject.  The Value of Mandrake is that is is a
late copy for someone who does not have the bandwidth to download?  It also
needs be labelled that it can be copied with impunity, but under the GNU
rules.

Yesterday I received from Mandrake Linux a rather large bag filled with
copies of the "Download Edition" (Single CD Edition) of Mandrake Linux
version 8.0 and stickers.
We have 50 CDs and rougly the same number of sheets of labels. What I
suggest that we do at this stage is look at trying to donate say 3 copies of
Mandrake to each of the major libraries in the area (Wellington City, Hutt
City, Porirua City etc.) for them to add to their catalogue and lend out to
people. We can include on the back of each CD a label saying something about
the users' group with the web page address etc. and perhaps get some flyers
into each of the libraries as well.
If people would like to approach the libraries to canvas their interest
please feel free, but please post to the list your intentions first so that
we don't have 2 or more people trying to go to the same place and make the
same offer. Once you have a definate taker of some CDs let me know and I can
give you the CDs at the next mmeting.
Also any members who want a CD (or some labels) let me know and I'll keep
one aside for you (as long as we have enough to cover other things such as
libraries, maybe schools (?) and other places might think of that could make
good use of Linux).

Cheers

Jamie
