Proposal: Link to low-cost CD presses

Hello,

I notice that quite a few of the requests made to the Free
Media
program came from USA, Canada, UK etc. It seems to me that
at least
some of the request originators would be happy to use
low-cost presses
like Cheapbytes instead but did not know that they exist.

Could we perhaps put up a page on the Wiki with links to
such sites?
I've used Cheapbytes, Linux Emporium (United Kingdom) and a
similar
service in Indonesia in the past, and have generally been
very
satisfied. The Indonesian operation (I can't recall the name
at the
moment) even delivers by courier to your house if you live
in the
capital.

This would probably allow us to reach more people who
*really* cannot
get access to the
DVDs otherwise (or have reasons not to trust online vendors)

Regards,

We've been maintaining a list of OnlineVendors for quite
some times.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors

I'm sure they know this page since it's been linked from the
Main page.
FedoraMain  =>  GetFedora => Online Vendors

Ah, quite right. Would it be useful to link to that page
from the
FreeMedia page as well?

Heh.  I wouldn't be so sure that the casual user:

a. Knows that "fedoraproject.org" is the first
place to look;
b. Doesn't get distracted by other links all over every
page;
c. Knows how to read.  

I think the vendor list is reasonably well-placed, and has
decent 
visibility -- but I wouldn't be so sure that it's where
everybody ends up 
when they need to get a DVD.
