I can see how a USB stick would be a more elegant way of distributing 
the distro. The price would seem to be the only problem that I can see. 
Framakey (Framasoft) is offering a 4gig stick for 19Euro and 4Eu 
shipping. A smaller and less expensive stick could be offered with just 
the LO distro on the stick. The cost would have to be kept as low as 
possible.  Framasoft carries the portable OOo, I imagine that they will 
eventually carry the portable LibreOffice as well. I am not sure if he 
has pronounced himself on this.

IMO, it would be best to try to foster communities where there is a very 
low LibreOffice presence and from there encourage the creation of a 
distribution system locally. Perhaps these groups would elect to use the 
USB key format rather than CD/DVD.

Anyway, coincidentally, there is another thread on marketing that was 
just started and perhaps this would be the best place to discuss it. I 
have created a wiki page to track volunteers who are interested in 
shipping CD/DVD (I have added my name as well), until we can have a more 
organised place for it on the permanent LO website. You can find the 
page here: 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Ideas/Distribution. I 
believer I had seen another member volunteer her/his services on another 
thread as well.

The discussion on the marketing list can be found here:

I'll copy/paste your previous post so that the thread is more complete 
and we could continue the discussion there if you don't mind.

Thanks for the tips and I'll make a note on the wiki re: Framasoft once 
we complete the organisation.
