[Ubuntu-be] re : ubuntu-stickers, gent

[Peter Stuart]

hello,
sorry to barge in like this,
but i notice someone proposing to meet
in gent for a drink. might be a nice occasion
to get to know some ubuntu-users
in east-flanders, and do some brainstorming
on what you (we) can do locally to help
spread ubuntu with every-day computer users.

let me introduce myself :
i am a journalist for avs local television,
linux usr since 1998 @home, @work still
struggling to get them to switch to openoffice.org,
let alone getting them convinced to use linux,
firefox introduced in september 06, though nobody uses it
(internet explorer is still present, still giving us problems as well).

convinced some home users though and helped them,
first with ubuntu-live, then to make a dual-boot
windows/ubuntu-system at their home computers
(WINDOWS OFFLINE, UBUNTU-LINUX ONLINE) which reduced their
virus-trojan-adware-malware problems significantly.

may be a good strategy : first try without install, then install dual-boot.

but the point is : how about a get-together in Gent?
