Hey guys,
It says the Haiku Inc. site that I should ask permission first, so here
goes!
I'd like to offer a USB-based "Discover Haiku" distro of Haiku on USB
that contains a recent, PM version of Haiku (I have a nightly here
that tests very stable and would be a good one I think), plus some
extra goodies that would expose new users to some of the fun and
usefulness of the OS. Haiku would be bootable right off the stick,
and/or installable to their hard drive. I wouldn't be altering the
operating system itself in anyway. It would be similar to what I did
with the BuzzCD during the 2000s (based on BeOS). I would include
introductory documentation to help point people to some of the cool
things it can do. My hope is it will boost awareness and get more
people using Haiku.
+1, I think this is a great idea.
Now how to implement something like this around the current trademark
policy
is tricky. If we had a recent release this would be simple (throw R1B1
or
whatever onto a USB stick and tweak it), however as we don't have an
up-to-date
release this whole thing gets gray.

I'd say the safest bet is to cross-post this to haiku-inc.
The trademark policy states:
"Haiku, Inc. can grant permission at its own discretion, even in
violation of its own policy."
