Senza polemica: sono l’unico a pensare che i DVD siano tecnologia obsoleta?

Hi Cameron,
I have to
admit that you caught me off-guard, the list is more
impressive than I thought before reviewing it. :-)
I still find that having to deal with funding DVDs for so many events
can be an issue. It is not just about processing micro-payments, you
also need to collect and archive proofs that the expense you are
reimbursing is legitimate (i.e. receipts) for OSGeo's accounting. I have
seen how complicated this can be with just the Local chapter starter
kits, imagine doing this for ~100 DVD print runs all around the world.
