Don't have any LightScribable discs at the moment - when funds return to pre-Wedding levels I will pick up a pack. In the mean-time, if anyone has the time or inclination: http://www.thymox.co.uk/Ubuntu_LightScribe.png http://www.thymox.co.uk/Ubuntu_LightScribe.svg I've tried the png in the Lacie LightScribe tool and it centres nicely and looks like it should print/burn/etch/whatever OK. As far as I can tell, the Lacie tool works best with bitmap images (JPG/PNG) at the same resolution (2773x2773) as the templates. Unfortunately in the SVG file the Ubuntu logo isn't centred, so I had to play about with it in GIMP a bit. If anyone with better Inkscape skills than I fancies adding some text (either Ubuntu or LUG specific) going around the edge of the logo, and perhaps centring it so it works straight-away after exporting it to PNG, then that'd be excellent.
