In the past WLUG has often been given disks (the proper factory stamped ones) in bulk from Canonical. Usually this was for SFD but I think if we asked for a few dozen to promote FOSS to the local council they'd probably give them to us. On 15 May 2012 23:18, Noel Villamor <noelrv(a)gmail.com> wrote:
Of course they won't as there will be company policies on this regard.
But never mind the implied idea that the person handing out the discs is not Bill Gates or the Mayor or that the discs are of Verbatim brand from Warehouse, for me the giving is symbolic more than anything else.

If any of the councillors ran this disk from an unknown source on any council asset id suggest its a nuge security risk. Id be extremely disappointed if someone ran something like this inside a company i looked after. A cdr with unknown software on it. Yay.

o. Give all the councillors at the hearing a copy of Ubuntu 12.04 CD, and tell them its legally theirs.
You might want to hand out the "business remix" of Ubuntu 12.04, which would be a better fit, I reckon:
