Jeff and LUG, What do you think of promoting to colleges and college students first? What about flyers at the local colleges or contacting the computer science departments? I wonder if we'd find higher level people that way, or just people without cars and without time? Don't know. Just a thought.
Of hand, I think many people find a Linux group on the internet. I think our internet presence is important. BTW, that woman Ruth who emailed our list maintains a comprehensive calendar of Linux groups and events for the greater NYC area. We should connect with her and make sure she has our entire schedule to post on the calendar. We might also get links or banners on the sites of other Linux groups or active Linux web sites. I suggest a singular web page with all the info such a flyer would have. Anyone could print that page and have the flyer. It can be one of the pages on our site. Updating that page automatically updates our flyer. Jeffrey Yep wrote: > Lots of good ideas! Now how do we want to go about implementing it?
