How can I request a free Ubuntu CD after "becoming an Ubuntu Member" by completing a PayPal donation to Ubuntu?
On May 9, 2010, I attempted to request a free Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition 32-bit CD. The below screen was displayed:
-------
Demand for Ubuntu CDs is very high, and we're trying to ensure that we have enough CDs for those who really need one. We've noticed that you've already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases. You can help us ensure the continued availability of Ubuntu CDs by
- upgrading to the new release without a CD
- downloading your own CD for free
- becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs
Thanks for your support of Ubuntu!
-------
So, I decided to become an "Ubuntu Member" by contributing to Ubuntu and "thereby becoming eligible for more CDs"!
I clicked on the web page "donation link" and made a $10 donation to Ubuntu through my PayPal account. My PayPal account history verifies that my $10 donation was successfully made to: "Canonical Limited" on May 9, 2010.
However, seven weeks after making the requested donation to Ubuntu, and hopefully becoming an "Ubuntu Member", I am still not able to request the Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition 32-bit CD because I continue to get re-prompted to donate to Ubuntu by the recurring Ubuntu donation screen shown above.
FYI - I have previously sent three emails requesting assistance regarding this issue to Ubuntu, Canonical, and Shippit email addresses over the past five weeks but no email responses have been received from any of the above possible support contacts.
If possible, please advise how I can "become an Ubuntu Member" by receiving credit for the PayPal donation that I made to Canonical Limited on May 9, 2010, and then how I might submit a request for the current Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition 32-bit CD.
Thanks very much for any possible assistance ...
