I am not an expert but I can help writing the announcement (well it's 99% 
done), making a bug squash report and of course squashing some bugs ;-)
Regarding the Live DVD, I suggest you making three versions: free (Intel and 
others), ATI and NVIDIA. I could build them and host them. BTW, an easy way 
to share a SUSE Studio appliance is by publishing it in the "SUSE Gallery."
