Sounds similar, eh?  Take a look at www.morphix.org.

This is a great idea.  I didn't know you could pre-print blank CD's with logos 
and a nice graphic.  Why not just sell these for a little bit above cost so 
this is a self-funding thing instead of relying on donations?  (Maybe get a 
donation to kick it off ...)

If these cost $2.00 each (for b/w), I would definately buy a few.  I think it 
looks much more professional to have a printed logo than using a home 
labelling kit.  However, if I'm paying for it, then the label should be 
"pure" KDE.

Along these lines, I think that menu items on the CD should _not_ be 
application names; for example kBear or arson.  In general, it is simpler to 
use human interface terms, such as "Copy CD", "JukeBox", "Letters" or 
"Budgets."

There are conflicting aims--some what a CD that co-workers can use to do 
distributed compiling and others want something that will make a CEO's pupils 
dilate and others want something for the rank newbie.

Maybe morphix.org is the answer.
