Feel them out to see if they would be interested to donate some space to 
host the DVD and CDs for the North American Community discs that 
developers who are not members of TDF are doing this side of the 
"pond".  This is for the benefit of the USA, Canada, and Mexico.  Mostly 
for the English speaking people, till the French and Spanish groups get 
in the swing and do their part when the DVD is that far along - 
hopefully in a few weeks.

Take them the above link and let them look at the files and folders that 
are currently in the "beta" process, though Drew will have some DVD to 
hand out at that event.  He is concerned with making a disc for that 
event, while I am concerned to make it a disc that will be useful for 
the peoples of North America.  I do not want to wait to see what the 
Germans will come up with for their version of what we could use.  They 
can do Europe, and We can use their start to do first English speaking 
folks, then add French speaking Canada and Spanish speaking Mexico.  The 
"final" "beta" English DVD should be finished in a few weeks with the 
prep work for the adding of the two other languages to the pages.  Just 
look at all of the languages in the Extension page, Dictionary section.  
I am thinking about adding to the list of language files to the install 
list.  Some of the major ones that are part of the "English as a second 
language" groups.  Maybe have them on the DVD and only a few more listed 
would work for a start.  I am going to do as much as I can, while I have 
time to do some of the work.
