i have a different idea may b impractical here, why not organise a Install - o - Fest where we will just ask people to come and will give them solutions liike installing Linux on their systems laptops desktops or whatever they have and other troubleshooting for their problems this will be the best way to tell people about Linux and i think this can really bring the change because a lot people are afraid of installing Linux and other FOSS this can really bring the change according to me because "Action speak louder then Words".
