Lorenzo,
I'm happy to have a commitment to either a LiveDVD or a PenDrive. Just 
so long as we can say to developers that "your project will be in every 
showbag if you get on board".

If possible, I'd like to have this commitment by the end of April, as we 
will be putting out a call for participation in the LiveDVD at the start 
of May.

Schedule is here:
