I know this isn't the right place for this sort of question, but I've trawled mandrake.com linux-mandrake.com mandrakeexpert.com & mandrakebizcases.com and havn't really found anywhere else :/ I'm hoping someone in here at least knows the address of someone that can help ;) First a little backgroung...
An Open Source day is being organised in the UK in the south west by the Devon & Cornwall Linux user Group (dclug), and the University of Exeter Student Linux user Group(slug) (27/04/2002 - University of Exeter - mail me for more details ;) Various talks and demonstrations are being held by various different groups of people (some just talking about open source in general, people preaching about in business, a couple about certain technologies (I think we're even having someone talk about perl.... )) Someone's asking about someone from suse coming down, and in the past they seem to have reacted well to the slug by supplying over a hundred slightly outdated 7.1 professional boxes) A local guy working for Redhat came when we founded the slug as well, so I'm guessing he'll be there as well since it looks like it's going to be a very sucessful day :) I'm hoping to give at least give a demo about Mandrake linux but I was wondering if there's anything else that can be usefully done to help promote it? We've got a few dowload edition 8.1 cd's kicking around (the free single cd version) and we may try and burn a few copies of the first cd of 8.2 for people to try out. Other than that, is there anything/anyone else available to help promote Mandrake? (I'm not after freebies, even though they're always nice :�) Are there any .ps or .pdf files that could be printed out as posters? Or is there anyone from Mandrake that's based in devon or cornwall that would be able to come to the event? ;�) Dave :)
