May I suggest that you guys supply people with OpenCD (http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/) cd's in addition to Linux (Knoppix?) CD's. Sometimes the Linux pond is just a little too deep for people but they won't say no to free software that runs on their Windows boxes. On Tue, 2004-07-06 at 16:35, Chris Day wrote:
I do not believe we are at a point where we have the room or experience to pull off a full on public install fest. But I do believe it's an opportunity to discuss with consumers what Open Source is all about, perhaps enlist new members and provide consumers with free Open Source CD's to take home and try out (we will be supplying these).
I still have some internal finalising to do but I would like to see a range of computers running Open Source software and am looking to list members to help demonstrate the software running on these and hand out the CD's (and LUG/NZOSS pamphlets?) - this in-store demonstration area has yet to be finalized along with any additional needs we identify.
