[Macpartners] Fall 2003 Getting Started CD Release Effort Underway

[Mark Van Dyke]

Good morning,

The CD Release Team has begun planning for the production of the fourth
version of the "Fall Getting Started CD" for Macintosh and Windows.  In
the past this CD has also been referred to by its label design; most
recently being the "orange and yellow swirly CD". The CD was originally
produced by the MITApps team, specifically to handle the fall and spring
term bottleneck of new students needing the core software applications
installed on their computers.  This was especially helpful to those who
did not have fast internet connections.  The CD has since proven itself
to be a valuable tool for many others.  Because of this, we're
rethinking its contents.

Attached is a list of applications that were included on last year's CD
plus some additions we're planning for this year. We're inviting your
ideas on what you think should be included on the CD.  In short, if
there is MIT-licensed software or freeware that you think should be part
of this CD; please let us know by sending mail to cd-release at mit.edu by
June 13, 2003.  We are attempting to get input from as many stakeholders
as possible.  If you think there is some individual or group that we
missed, please let us know as soon as possible.

Our goal is to have the CD ready for duplication by August 1. For more
information on the CD and the release effort, see the CD Release
Notebook at http://web.mit.edu/swrt/releases/mitcd/.  If you have
questions, suggestions, or would like to participate in the release of
this CD, please contact the team via email at cd-release at mit.edu.

Thanks for your input!
