LoCo Serbia organized Ubuntu presentation

[Ivan Petrović]

Hi all,

We organized Ubuntu presentation in Center of Culture Magacin in
Belgrade two days ago. First idea was to organize Release Party, but we
didn't fit in schedule of Centar of Culture Magacin, so we booked it for
15th December. Unfortunetly in last minute we were moved to underground
space of the Center, and we even didn't have chairs for our public.
Beside that, the atmosphere was good and comments from our forum are
very positive.

We talked about Free Software, basics of Ubuntu, LoCo Serbia activities
and software packages for common use. Headings was:
1. Free Software, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu - presented by dootzky
2. Activities of LoCo Serbia - petrovicivan
3. GNOME, KDE, XFCE - Githzerai
4. Graphics and Video - Rainmaker
5. Audio and Office - bojce
6. Wine - vlajkoral
7. CompizFusion - olujicz
8. Games - dootzky

Local retailer List Solution (official Ubuntu partner) gave us 3
preinstalled-Ubuntu-computers for presentation. We made by ourselves 100
Ubuntu CDs, about 20 DVDs, over 800 stickers, 15 Ubuntu key fobs (almost
everything run away). We also made 35 t-shirts for moderators, which
were a sample print before the larger order for the whole LoCo
Community. Lot of people asked for the t-shirts, and we hardly explaned
that there were no t-shirts for sale. :)

There were about 50 visitors, and many of them are non-linux users. 

In my opinion, key point of this presentation is the fact that whole job
was done by rookie members (including me). Mature members, founders of
Ubuntu LoCo Serbia, are currently involved in other FSN projects like
Fedora Community, Gnuzilla magazine and anti-OOXML campagne.

Good atmosphere on the event resulted in already talking about Release
Party for KDE 4.
