Hey Izabel and Roger, I have been giving this some thought since the original email from Izabel. I have had a few ideas that were mostly crap... the only halfway good Idea I had was to set a booth up at college and pass out openSUSE DVDs and maybe some other cool stuff. But, I don't know if this is good enough for them to select that idea for any funding. Does anyone else have any ideas that could point us in a better direction? -- Drew Adams Skype ID: Druonysus Skype #: +1.714.725.7873 Google Voice: +1.951.234.7873 www.facebook.com/Druonysus Registered Linux User #: 507531 en.opensuse.org/User:Druonysus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
