The North American Community DVD project is using our portal[s] for 
community based testing of the DVDs online, and later for hosting ISO 
versions of the DVDs.  We are going to have a version hosted on the 
TDF/LibreOffice sponsored site.  But that site may not have all the 
extras that we want on our discs. 3 GB total for the Win/Mac/Linux 
version and 1.6 GB for the Windows only version.  We are in the 
alpha/beta of the Spanish translation of our English DVDs.  They are to 
be found at our portal [ libreoffice-na.us ].
