Hmm, heh, nice suggestion, but I can say from experience that most of those
students rigths associations are mostly interested of the next Wednesday and
booze or next student party and booze. If they are not interested of that,
they are interested of how to get more funds for administration of student
association needed for free "refreshment trips" exclusively to the board xD
At times they can be interested of something else if it means they can talk
shit with officials of the school in some very "important" meeting, and most
of all, try show to the officials of the school how "intelligent" people they
are.
If you tell them about Free Software they say "oh, but I can get Windows for
free, I don't need Free Software."
After that you can try to explain about the Four Freedoms and why they are
good and important just to see that they don't give a shit.
So, in the end the only thing you can do is pick most powerful of them
(because then you can say later that "we (name) chose to install GNU/Linux)
and talk enthusiastically how cool linux is and that it should be installed
on the machines of the office of student organization. They say "yeah"
because they say practically to anything "yeah" if they think it is socially
acceptable (the only exception to this is politics, but I think you would not
want to talk hours and hours about it with them so you better avoid that
topic, remember they are politician wannabees).
Then you just install GNU/Linux on every machine you can and when they see
that and are like one helluva big "WTF???????????????" you just smile and say
this is GNU/Linux, this is totally awesome, one moment, let me show you, here
is Firefox and here is torrent file sharing program. File sharing program is
a little bit different but still very easy to use!
And don't even think about not installing flash. They can use GNU/Linux but
if there is no flash they will get very mad.
The end result will be that the most hippy student will begin to really use
GNU/Linux and enjoy of it. She might be a good wife candidate too, so you
should seriously consider to ask her for a date.
(This is humour you might not comprehend and everything said has happened in
real, and much more. I was very active in different student organizations.)
