Hi the Marketing Team! Below is a copy of my post to [email protected] on June the Twelfth. I had done some research before and since that date but was under the impression that "Marketing" was a commercially aimed page - until in desperation I had another look this morning - and found 'Materials'! I can't print what I said! But wait! There's more after ...
>If you would care to look up http://www.tact.org.au you will see where >I am at! > >Having been one of the tutors for Absolute Beginners and a Committee >member for over a year, and enjoyed it, I have suggested to the >Committee that the Club should offer guidance to its members on the >installation and use of Ubuntu. > >The Club uses and distributes OpenOffice.org Writer and other freeware >already as standard teaching aids, so why not go "the whole hog" and >add Ubuntu? > >As most of the members are of retiring age with the associated >restraints on spending, but still want to be able to store and organise >family photos, write and receive e-mails - even have a go at keeping up >with the grand kids, Linux and particularly Ubuntu has distinct >financial advantages to say the least! > >The Club is holding its AGM on the first of July at which I hope to >have a running slide presentation going, plus a static display with >handouts advertising Ubuntu and its advantages. > >To that end I feel certain that there are at least sources of material >that could be of interest to the Club Members and maybe someone who has >"Bin-there-done-that" whose experience would be invaluable to us. > >Please note the rather short time for replies and required activities. Unfortunately that post had little response from that list. The Rest: Having at last found a source of the materials I was seeking, I downloaded and saved UbuntuLeaflet.pdf then leaflet2_withgraphics_0.1_chris_rowson.pdf then lastly ubuntuflyer.pdf. The visual impact of the flyer is just what I was looking for! Then I read the script - Oops! Hence the subject of this post. 1st paragraph line 2: "Wish their was something..." Standard mistake - 'their' for 'there' - Grammatical 'owner' for the intended 'place'. Under the title "What is Ubuntu": 'employs' instead of 'employees' - Grammatically "Canonical employs..." vis "employees of Canonical..." - change of context. Being a 'Mistaker' of the first water myself, the above comments are offered with sympathy and the hope that they are helpful in maintaining the excellent quality of the material. My regards to all.
