Display boxes for CDs & National Mass Awareness Campaigns on Ubuntu

[Fouad Riaz Bajwa]

I second the notion and would like to adopt the same strategy for Pakistan,
we have already trained and certified over 4879 people as "Ubuntu-Linux
Certified Users". The following amount of people were trained between August
14-19, 2005 during the 1st National Free and Open Source Software Awareness
Campaign FOSSAC'2005 as part of the celebrations for Software Freedom Day
2005:
----------------------------
UBUNTU Trainings Statistics
----------------------------
Total Enrollment				= 5474 People
On Spot Enrollment			= 3149 People
PUCIT Student Enrollment		= 2325 People
Breakup:
--------		
Outside Visitors Trained		= 4879 People
Males						= 3578 People
Females					= 1301 People
Visitors trained below the age of 10 Years	 = 4 People
Visitors trained above the age of 50 Years	 = 8 People
Total No of Organizations/Institutes Trained on Ubuntu-Linux = 512
Total Regional Records = 4 Children between the age of 6-8 years certified
as Ubuntu-Linux Users

We believe that the idea mentioned earlier Niels Kjøller Hansen would go a
long way in creating awareness.

Subject: Display boxes for CDs

I have seen in the archive that Canonical/The Ubuntu Foundation were
asking for in what ways they could help the local teams.

I have a specific request/idea, which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere
else. In the Danish team, we have an idea for the Breezy release: We are
to place four or five cd's in a number of café's, fastfood joints, etc.,
along with some small pamphlets (bent double-sided A4's) on where to get
help/support/ideas.

What we really need is small display boxes in thick paper with room for
a small number of CDs and some A5 sheets. Personally, I am currently on
printing a template on A3, that you can cut out and fold into a
display-box. However, a professional, sturdy box would look so much
better! If anyone have worked out a way of doing this kind of
distribution (café's) in a relatively inexpensive way (we are very
poor), please write me.

Also, is there a way for the LoCo-teams to get pressed Breezy CDs rather
quickly (i.e. a week or so) after the release? 

Thanks in advance.
