I found this link which contains Ubuntu 12.04 source code. It's about 3 DVDs and sizing 10GB.

I have downloaded all DVDs but I didn't find any installers in it. I wonder if there is a way I can make a custom Ubuntu CD by just choosing the needed open source software from my company. Is that possible?

What can I benefit from these DVDs right now? any help would be appreciated.

By the way I don't find an answer for my question in this question

If you want a Linux with just the software, you want, why not try Arch Linux? By the way, you also have Ubuntu LiveCDCustomization and LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch.

I have never tried those, and I think you'll probably be more happy with Arch, which also has its own Live CD creation tool with all info here :) plus the wiki of Arch is amazing! You'll definitely find all you need to know there!

Long story short...you don't need to compile the whole distribution to customize it the way you want :P It would probably took WAY too much time at your work, except if you don't have nothing else to do.
