not yet and, honestly, I cannot grant it. The workshops evaluation has not
yet started.

we need to promote this solution and can easily offer space on the official
website.

we tried to do more and looked for the possibility to have a 4 gigs
pen-drive instead of the liveDVD. We should carefully evaluate this solution
and I'm sure there's plenty of good opinions in the liveDVD community.
We should be able to choose in june if we have budget enough to offer a
pendrive or if we better print DVDs (more or less they are half price of the
pendrive).

that's easy to find in Barcelona but maybe can be much more expensive.
I've heard the idea to use some of our sponsor's delivery system to
print/buy in asia and deliver to Barcelona. Is this science fiction?
