Also, for others, looks like our disc is about 1/3 full right now, which
is enough for our first burn of the LC 2.0 for sxsw, but if you want to
get more content onto the disc, please do step up and participate on the
project to get your content added in a standard way...you can see two
solid ways of doing this on the main LiveContent page.

If all else fails, then file a bug/feature request about your content:
