Dunno, but should we also be advertising Mike Culver?

But someone will need to pull finger and do it!
Otherwise I fear Yuri will be preaching to the converted.

It seems to me that this talk would have appeal to a much wider
audience than just the list members and the occasional wiki visitor.
Thus I wonder if it's sensible to advertise Yuri and Julia more widely
than just the list and wiki?
If so, I wonder what medium?

On Tuesday 12 Feb,
Julia and I will be presenting a talk aimed at Linux-curious folk
entitled "Is Linux Right For Me?".
I will be presenting some pros and cons and considerations to help
people decide whether Linux is the right choice for them.
Julia will be talking about her experiences as a non-techie using
Linux because it happens to be the only operating system available in
her household (because her husband can't/won't maintain Microsoft
software).
I will be covering the normal tasks most people want from their
computer - email, browsing, wordprocessing, playing music, playing
video.
I will also mention (briefly) some of the philosophical reasons for
using
Linux.
I will be honest and mention special cases where I think people should
stick to Windows or MacOS.
I will not be covering gaming.
If any Linux gamers want to give a short spiel about gaming on Linux
please let me know ASAP and I'll slot you in. Caleb?
Any other tasks I should cover?
Julia will talk about her successes and failures in trying to Get
Things Done the way most non-geeks just want to Get Things Done.
Yuri
