Dear Malaysian OSS community,

Effective immediately, AsiaOSC is happy to announce that
we can send certain open source CD's, for free, to
any location in Malaysia.

See http://mymirror.asiaosc.org for more details. Please
register as an AsiaOSC user before making a request.



Priority will be given to people outside the KL / Selangor
area, and to smaller requests.

There may be a delay of 1-2 weeks before you receive your CD(s).
Depending on costs / demand etc, this service may later become
'at cost price' or withdrawn.

This is sponsored by MIMOS.  We aim to accelerate
OSS usage in Malaysia, since we know it is sometimes hard
to get hold of open source software, and downloading
often takes too long.  We would be interested if parties
in other countries would like to collaborate to spread
this initiative.



The current options are:

Mozilla 1.3 + Open Office 1.0.2 (1 disk, source + bin, Linux and Win)
Red Hat 8.0 (without source code: Disk1-3)
Red Hat 8.0 (with source code: Disk1-5)
Knoppix 3.2
Debian CD Binary Images 3.0 r1 (7 disks)
Debian CD Source Images 3.0 r1 (7 disks)


Please be aware that is it not a simple matter to add extra
packages.  Much of the work is the legal investigation, not
the technical aspects.

We are aiming to comply with all applicable legal requirements :
GPL and any application specific licenses / requirements.  Please
let us know if you see anything we have missed.


Regards,
Imran
