I propose that the UUG launch a campaign entitled, "Software for Starving Students." The goal of the campaign would be to inform students Open Source alternatives to commercial software for their computers. The major pitch is that students save their money that they would spend on Windows, Office, Quicken, etc., and instead use Linux, KDE, OpenOffice, GnuCash, etc.
We could have such quips as: - "Eat better this semester. Get quality free software! For more information, visit http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/freesoftware"; - "Free professional Office suite available for BYU students and employees. Visit http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/openoffice for more info!" - "Community support beats tech support. Use Open Source software, and let the BYU UUG help you out when you need it!" - "Still feeding that Windows addiction? Break free of your bonds! Use Linux!" Anyone have a big stuffed penguin they could donate for the sidewalk booth? :-) Part of this campaign would be the install fests, newbie orientation seminars, etc. Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the BYU UUG discussion mailing list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "UNSUBSCRIBE" as the message body Visit the BYU UUG website at: http://uug.clubs.byu.edu/
