Good Day People: As strong protagonists of Free Software we will always recommend that our customers use GNU/Linux and other free software applications instead of proprietary software.
After a couple of months of attending business networking and other chamber of commerce style events with both the Live-CD and the Ubuntu Leaflets. We have noticed that whenever we offer people both the Live-CD and the leaflet together, that most of the time they give us back the CD and keep the leaflet. Taking this into consideration; I would like to ask the good people at Canonical to make the leaflets available to business people like myself in the same manner as they make the Live-CD's available to everyone for free. That way business people like us can distribute the leaflets to people in our local community. At business networking organizations and chambers of commerce's. This is very effective method of advertising to business owners and people in other professions outside of the field of computer science. As members of these types of organizations you often get the opportunity to distribute information to people in a cost effective manner. For example direct mailings, display racks, table top events, etc. Short run printing the leaflets ourselves would be impractical. However, printing them on a 4-color offset press by the hundreds of thousands would cost pennies a copy vs. about a dollar (or more) each in short run using a color laser printer or photo-copier. The leaflets are awesome like they are now and removing the heavy red print would alter the presentation and possibly make them less effective. Which is why it would be a good idea to make them available to people to distribute them to other people using business networking channels.
