Resorting to chain mail to spread word of Ubuntu? Sorry. All chains stop here. We don't want to sully Ubuntu's reputation. Actually on the subject of the Danish loco team, I've been thinking of having a stall at the Joondalup Festival in April showing off Ubuntu and giving away CDs. The details for prospective stallholders are not available yet but should be shortly, so I currently don't know how much it would cost me (especially since we'd need electricity for the event too). I'd need another volunteer from Perth to help me man the stall. I'm willing to dig my own money into this (depending on how much it costs) but if Canonical could help in any way that would be fantastic. If I can't get another Perth Ubuntu user involved I'd try and reach out to other distro communities to make it a general Linux stall.
