No reason not to focus on specific regions, especially if we are

I have attached a draft flyer to issue 15757.
I saw, thanks. Haven't had time to look it over.
It could probably be
improved visually by the art project but I think the messages are the
best we can give. If this seems acceptable, I will find out what it
will
cost to send to 3500 secondary schools (ages 11-18). We could also
send
to primary schools - about 17,000 but that is more expensive and
the NC
levels cited are not really appropriate to that age group so we would
need to modify things a bit. I'm anticipating that just sending the
flyer will be the cost of postage and duplication. We have mailing
list
software with the addresses etc but there is the job of stuffing
envelopes. I'm hoping we will get some FOSS volunteers to help with
that. What is the mechanism for claiming costs?
There is no clear mechanism for things like this. For the present
campaign, we have to spend the money on merchandise, like USB keys,
and, mostly, online ads; print things, like brochures, are not quite
in the picture. That said, making these available for modification
and distribution is a necessary step. I'd be interested to know the
cost, however, as if not for this particular campaign, it will help
in future ones. I'd also be curious if we could run online ads that
do the same.
I put John's E-mail address on - its probably best to have a named
contact. Can put mine on too but I don't want any perceived
conflict of
interest.
Of course. We all have to be careful of that.
