Hi to all, Thanks the commitment of Dieter, Joris, Kenneth, Mike and Peter, the Ubuntu-be booth in Dipro Ghent has been run with success. Here follows a short « first impression » report. An extended report with photos will be posted later in the wiki.
Jean ---------------------------- Short report Dipro Fair in Ghent on 19/04/2009 – Ubuntu-be booth The booth has been organized as described in the wiki (6 volunteers, enough hardware (5 laptops and one additional screen) and material. The Dipro Computer fair was coupled with a photography fair at the same place : the Ubuntu-be was located close to the main entrance to both fairs, a very good location, and was attractive for the public. Our booth was correctly decorated with table cloth (too short), posters and an inflatable tux, but we could do better. We distributed approximatively 80 cd's 8.10, always on request of interested persons and with explanation. From 10 to 14 h. : many interested visitors, we were permanently busy with questions, explanations and demonstrations (full manning of the booth was necessary !). From 14 to 15.30 h. : less visitors, but permanently 2 or 3 visitors with questions. Till the end (17 h.) people came through with some questions, the last one when the computers were already off. Some people did not know about the existence of Ubuntu, likely they were more interested by the photography fair than in computer, but we succeed to attract their attention. The diaporama/presentation of Ubuntu (available in wiki) has been successful for this public. Many questions about the co-existence Ubuntu - Windows (dualboot) and how to work with a live-cd. Summarry : it was a successful event for Ubuntu promotion. -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
