Wow, great idea!! But unfortunately, may not work in our case because people just dont have blank cds here. And they arent ready to buy one. I mean there are tons of iso's etc floating around on the LAN, yet everyone wants a 'CD'.. dunno why. Also, 'get a blank CD and get ubuntu' sounds less catchy than 'attend xyz and get an Ubuntu cd' . Still, we'll give it a shot. Anyone have any other ideas regarding how to attract crowds?? Actually we are targeting two categories : the noobs, who havent installed linux - the cds are for them ; and those who having been using it for quite a while. Any ideas for the latter category? -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
