We did one install while there. We showed some other free software. This is spreading Ubuntu, you don't fix the problem by marketing it. You fix it by actioning any of the items mentioned on this list yesterday. Plan follow the action points below. Step 1: Download the latest iso. Step 2: Burn it and test it. Step 3: Give it away if you a chance, and tell the person how they can get support from you or others. Repeat step one if there is a change or else do step 2 and 3 now and again. Tell people about the community help. Tell people about how they can participate in a community. Give people access to this community. It should be a meme. Some of what I do is the above, like the street vendor of a newspaper. I do other things that very few people know about. FLOSS is about decentralised distribution. The way that we do stuff is this. We create a resource, we let others use it. It is rather simple. Call to arms: What I would like is a five to eight hundred word introduction to Ubuntu. Combine this with a set of slides. Make an audio recording of same. Maybe I will just do this.
