Our CDs are also trapped in customs. There was an invoice with the CDS
and the amount when converted to rands is enough to say we have to pay
some duty. I will try again on Monday to see if I can get them
released.

vender los cd's,  nos cobran como $50 U.S. pero desde hace un tiempo acá se
a presentado un problema, con la empresa que se mandan los paquetes T.N.T ,
ellos en dos ocasiones ya perdieron los papeles o equivocaron los datos, y
se nos a  hecho imposible sacar los cd's de Aduana

Hey. here in El Salvador, is the same. that customs think they are to sell
cd's, we charge like $ 50 U.S. but for a while here they ever had a
problem with
the company that sent the packet TNT them twice and lost the paperwork or
wrong data and made it impossible for us to get the cd's Customs

David, me parece que no entendiste aca en Uruguay nos pasa lo mismo,
la aduana cree que los vamos a vender, no entienen de alquien mande
una cantidad tan grande de Cds para regalar, por lo tanto mientras no
solucionamos eso no estamos pidiendo los cds para que no se pierdan
los recursos, cuando nosotros no los podemos aprovechar.

David, I think you did not understand, here in Uruguay we have  the
same problem, the customs believes that we will sell them, because
they do not believe that such a large number of CDs is to give away,
so until we solve that, we are not asking for cds so that resources
are not lost for no reason.

Here in Colombia the customs are very stubborn so we decided to pay for the
taxes (anyway, is just taxes).

It's about US50 and between all of us we collect the money needed.

It has worked well.

Correcto. Aduana nos cobra un impuesto de aproximadamente 50 dólares por
desaduanar los discos, a menos que probemos que no son para uso comercial.



Exactly. Customs makes us pay a tax of approximately US$50 for the cd's,
unless we prove that they are not for commercial use.

Hi in this case you should/need to contact shippit directly and they 
will try where possible to resolve this issue for you

Rodrigo, los CDs se envían a los responsables de cada comunidad, es de
suponer que es una persona comprometida con el proyecto Ubuntu y que en su
conciencia dicta el buen uso y aprovechamiento del material, la forma y en
que se usan depende de cada comunidad, pero lógicamente que son los lideres
de cada comunidad que deben dirigir con lineamientos, el correcto uso de
los mismos.

Rodrigo, CDs are sent to the heads of each community, we can assume that a
person committed to the Ubuntu project and that his conscience dictates the
proper use and exploitation of the material, and how they are used depends
on the community , but logically they are the leaders of each community that
 guidelinesshould be directed to the correct use of them.

Hi,  Here in Nicaragua the cd's have arrived yesterday, but they are
retained at the customs office because they believe they are not a gift, as
we usually do here.  Is it possible that Canonical can send a letter
specifying that the cd's are not for marketing?

Last chance to fund Tube, a free culture Blender-animated film!

Blender's Open Movie
Projects<http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/blender-open-projects/>
 have already proved that it's possible to produce stunningly high-quality
3D animated films exclusively using free software in a studio setting. Now,
a new animated short film called Tube <http://urchn.org/media>, inspired by
the ancient epic poem of Gilgamesh, is expanding on that work to bring free
culture to the masses. The Tube project is not merely evidence of the
technical capabilities of free software tools like
Blender<http://www.blender.org/>
, PiTiVi <http://www.pitivi.org/>, and Fedora
<http://fedoraproject.org/> GNU/Linux,
but living proof of their viability for independent filmmakers. The most
impressive aspect of the project is that it has managed to come together
through distributed collaboration between 56 artists from 22 countries —
some of which are at war. Tube truly highlights the incredible unifying
power of free software tools and a free culture model.


 <http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1331941187/the-tube-open-movie>


Within the first few days, Tube's Kickstarter
campaign<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1331941187/the-tube-open-movie>
reached
the minimal baseline goal of $22K and subsequently hit
Slashdot<http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/04/22/003217/elephants-dream-director-readies-blender-animated-tube>.
As
the film enters the final stages of production, the Tube team needs as much
support as they can get to make this story a huge success for free
software, free culture, and independent animators everywhere. With the
production funding target of $50K in sight and just a couple days left in
the campaign, this is your last chance to support this ambitious
undertaking and get your name in the film as a backer. There is enormous
potential here; as Mashable questions, 'Will This Open-Source Animated Film
Change the Movie Industry
Forever?<http://mashable.com/2012/04/20/tube-animation/>
'


The film's public release is scheduled for 7 months from now along with all
the assets, source, and project files under the free
culture<http://freedomdefined.org/Definition>
 and copyleft <http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses#Copyleft> Creative
Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) licence. For an in-depth
discussion with the team, check out this interview with the Tube project
founders on Libre Graphics
World<http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/tube-open-movie-founders-on-art-war-and-blender>.
It's up to us now to help Tube affirm the legitimacy of producing free
cultural works in a fully free software workflow.
