I worked during college at The Daily Texan, the UT-Austin student paper.
If there will be (and there ought to be!) some LDD activities at your
local university or college, take advantage if they have a student paper.
Often, these papers are looking -- begging -- for feature stories that
involve some sort of actual interesting content. If you know (or are) a
reporter for a collegiate or even high school paper, suggest the diea,
start getting background information down, because the sooner reporters
know what the diff. is between an OS and a computer, or between an OS and
applications (etc etc) the more sensible a resultant story can be.
I will get to work on telling reporters at The Daily Texan, see if we can
get a big spread on it. That's a 30,000+ circulation paper, bigger than
most local dailies, and read by folks in the right age bracket to say
"Hey! I want reliable internet access, too -- you mean I don't have to use
Windows?"
In the context of this project, college campuses are great also because
campuses typically have not only a student publication but computer user
groups, often Linux user groups.
