Re: [ubuntu-in] College tech-fest help..
List, I am against FREE cd sent by shipit service as most of them are going waste. instead, the whole process should be made manual respective LoCo teams should approve requests. this step would minimize waste of resources. i myself tried distributing around 10 disc twice or thrice first among my school mates then in my college. the response is disappointing. most people returned the DISC to me the second day, while others had put it to innovative uses. 1) using it as a reflectors in cycles 2) keeping in their school bag using it as mirror(as mirrors were not allowed our school) 3) in college people were more sane, so they just returned me the DISC saying, yaar isme toh kuch samajth nahi aaya, apni to toh windows hi theek hai, For non hindi speakers it means. I Didn't understand how to use it, windows is best for me as it is easy to use Now, i suggest first to create a Hype like not giving the cd's, and showing off the Desktop effects other features of Ubuntu which are far more ahead from windows platform.the most usefull features that even a hardcore windows fan virus free working environment. its just a clue you and let or imagination fly compile some other features offered Ubuntu which are suitable in our context then start a advertisement campaign around your campus. so by this people would be curious about Ubuntu, and whenever they get a chance they would love to try it out. So to sum up, instead of forceing more people to install Ubuntu on their machine. Create a General awareness about Ubuntu. Like make a target that everyone should know what Ubuntu is in around your campus. it doesn't matter whether they actully use it or not but they should know what is Ubuntu or Linux in general. And if someone is Deeply interested in Ubuntu offer a Ubuntu Disc. but first create a General awareness Level.

Hello, First for disks, you probably know that, cd shiping time is too long around one month or more. Best idea, buy your own blank cds. prices are very low, mediam quality cds are available for rs 5.00(inr). And another answer for attacrt audience: Now days linux radically simple and simple every day, Anyone able to use it. But main problem is trouble shooting, For like some one have not the modem driver or sound card driver.The drivers are easily available in internet. But due to nature of newbie, they are not interested to do it. Some of them think, other os's is better, They think, Just insert CD in ROM and double click and that's it. If you really want to more Linux audience, then first you have need to provide a better support for them. And for who have not uses Linux for long time, I think, you attract those of them by giving some programing knowledge, If non professionals are contribute to project, then more chance to get more support and new innovative software's. Above ideas are mine, some one will not probably agree with me. But this problem are really pain full for new user.

Re: [ubuntu-in] College tech-fest help..
Hi guys, You have a number of valid points in the discussion here, but I would beg to differ from you on a couple of things. The aim of giving free cds is to make it easier for people to start using Ubuntu. The aim of giving free cds is not that more than 5-10% should use is after the first time (I'm not sure how you got that figure), but that when somebody gets a free cd, they tell others about it, who tell others. So basically the idea is to have as many copies floating around as possible, so that people find it when they need one. I found my copy from a friend who never ever installed it. Now coming on to not wasting other people's money, that is quite a good point. So what are the alternatives? One would be to buy cds yourself, write them and distribute it. One would be to find the hardware vendor, where people in the college buy most of the pc's from, and ask him to sponsor it. And how. You ask him to pay only for CDs, say 500. Then you find a cd writer, and write all those yourself, and when you distribute the cds, you put it the sponsor details too. I know it works. The end user has to get a free CD. Someone who hasn't converted to Ubuntu doesn't give a sh** who paid for it. If you're going to make them do it like you are suggesting, the conversion rate would be even less than the what you have observed. When you're trying to convert people, you need to think of *marketing* not *saving money*.

We have been hanging around in Ubuntu since Warty days, when the entire idea of Free ship-it was ever born. During Breezy and Dapper days, Canonical used to send how much ever CDs people asked for. What enthusiastic people did was they ordered in numbers like 100, 200 without even having a clue of how to use them. I know people who still have 100s of breezy CDs lying in their dungeons. Then, a lot of feedbacks from the community (like us) made Canonical realize that their resources were going waste and idea of Free Shipit wasn't being utilized correctly, so they decided to reduce the maximum amount of CD that can be ordered to 10/20, which still got reduced to 1/2 when Feisty was released. So basically the idea is to have as many copies floating around as possible, so that people find it when they need one. I found my copy from a friend who never ever installed it. You yourself stand as an example ;) Now coming on to not wasting other people's money, that is quite a good point. So what are the alternatives? IMHO, broadband availability and hence downloading a CD image is no more a luxury in urban places. So, when you download loads and loads of movies from torrents why don't you download a Ubuntu CD and share? It is indeed written on top of CDs sent through ship-it that Please Recycle. We strongly suggest you to get a CD and share with maximum amount of people you can. Use and pass it on (take a backup of the image for future). One would be to buy cds yourself, write them and distribute it. One would be to find the hardware vendor, where people in the college buy most of the pc's from, and ask him to sponsor it. And how. You ask him to pay only for CDs, say 500. Then you find a cd writer, and write all those yourself, and when you distribute the cds, you put it the sponsor details too. I know it works. Yep, you can ask some of the sponsors (who do not themselves have an Distribution) to sponsor for the CDs, it shouldn't cost them much. Then ask them to print a CD sticker or a small Logo, burn Ubuntu into CDs and put the CDs sponsored by foobar on top of it. Or you can even write it with a marker pen. The end user has to get a free CD. Someone who hasn't converted to Ubuntu doesn't give a sh** who paid for it. If you're going to make them do it like you are suggesting, the conversion rate would be even less than the what you have observed. Nobody ever cared and as a result, Canonical's money was getting wasted. They realized it and took appropriate measures (only 1 or 2 CDs, only for registered Ubuntu users). When you're trying to convert people, you need to think of *marketing* not *saving money*. Nobody is really trying to convert people here. He do advocacy sometimes, not evangelism. We use Ubuntu, feel it works well for us and want others to benefit too, provided they are interested to try it out. If they want to, we help them to. Else, who cares a ** of what they use.

Re: [ubuntu-in] College tech-fest help..
Ah, the whole 'Shipit' dilemma. Firstly, i'd like to say that i am strongly against people misusing shipit, and have tried very hard to discourage people from ordering the cds. With this in mind, i hope everyone bears with me for a moment : As almost all college-fests go these days, 'Apogee' involves lots of prizes. Most events have huge cash prizes (atleast for a college event, IMHO) - i am talking of anything in the range of 1-50K, sometimes even more than that. 'Big' events like these attract lots of crowds. We dont _want_ to have such an event, partly because we are not funded by anyone, but mainly because it will simply not serve the purpose. Instead, we thought of attracting the 'mildly interested' audience - those who have heard of linux, seen it on their friends' computers, or might have even just installed it. So, thinking what we could offer as 'prizes' for showing up and winning these events, the first thing that came to my mind was 'CDs'. CDs also happen to be the 'easiest' solution - since canonical _already_ ships them. What i mean is, i think CDs are a good thing to give away because of the easy availability and high impact. Another question is how do we attract the 'veterans' - those who are experienced enough - what might attract them? As pointed earlier, merchandise is hard to come-by in India, so that might be a good start. But i guess even that might not prove to be sufficient enough. If anyone can come up with something more attractive or innovative, i'd be really happy to hear it. The main problem is actually vying for attention - how do we persuade people to come when another event being held concurrently is offering a prize of 50k. Hope i got the point across... -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
