SFD burning
Thanks to everyone who helped burn the 100 CDs for Software Freedom Day.

It was actually interesting watching how we burned on the different operating systems. There must have been a different version of Nero on every windows PC.

Joel had the best burning process going because it was writing to both his cd burners at 40x at the same time.

To begin with, on ubuntu, I got elspeth to burn cds using cdrecord -verbose -speed 40 TheOpenCD.iso. But after Ali asked "how do I burn cds" I explored a teensy bit and found there was, "right click on iso, write to cd." And that gui had a nice little button, which was, "Burn another CD". The only problem was that ejecting, reinserting and clicking "burn another cd" was a relatively long process.

Elspeth's mactop didn't have an especially fast burner, but the swapover process was seamless, because what I did there was while true; do hdiutil burn TheOpenCD.iso; done, which would burn and verify the cd, eject the cd, and await a new one being inserted. No tray either, the laptop had a slotloader.

Thanks to Alisa, Elspeth, Erica and Ali for helping us stomp all the cds. Thanks to Joel, Erica, Ali, Rohan and Elspeth for burning all those cds. :)
