It's shouting at me for not providing a German description of the project. Is that a requirement? My German isn't quite up to the task, I'm afraid. Fill in the English stuff and add a few people to the project. Once I have an account I can quickly translate the texts to German.

I can't add people until it's been accepted.

Who can print large formats? FYI, I still have the big MPlayer logo poster from last year.

Good, remember to bring it.

How far did it get? Are there some rotting bits on someones hard drive that could be revived, or is it better to start afresh? Luca Barbato wanted to create a Gentoo live CD. Dunno how far he got in the end.

Luca, are you around?

We could burn these on demand, and avoid wasting blanks. Given the price of blank CDs this should not be a big issue.

True.

It would be nice if we could at least print a logo or something on the CDs. We had some preliminary logos last year, IIRC Alexander Strasser made them.

Alexander, do you still have them buried somewhere?
