I'm not sure we'll need Kubuntu CDs, although I'm sure Jonathan would be 
very pleased if we did!
We managed to get rid of about 100 Live CDs at LinuxWorld in the first 
day, but I would be pleased to have a variety of distributions that ship 
GNOME.

Indeed, apparently Dapper is in effect only going to have a live CD (the 
install and live bits are on the same cd from what I gather). It 
wouldn't be too hard to remove the Ubuntu branding and return it to 
almost stock GNOME to make a GNOME live CD.

I suppose what we need to make sure is that the anything we take to LRL 
is relevant to the audience. Since I suspect most people there will 
already be acquainted with Linux/GNOME, we really need something 
up-to-date and new to show them. I'm thinking Xgl and other things that 
are hard to get running. Perhaps even a demonstration of up coming 
projects such as gimme. Can anyone think of something of this nature 
they would like to see?
