The aim is to present an eye-catcher for the public passing by a booth, facilitating contacts. The decoration of a booth requires several posters of different designs (old + new). For this reason, we need additional posters, but only a small amount of posters (250 ex. see below), but more often new models. If additionally we can sell posters, that's better ! But we don't need buyers before to start printing. About timing, we need (old and new) posters and flyers for the Dipro fairs in september : I hope a clear decision from the treasurer on this matter within the next 10 days, before introducing the order.

Please look for buyers before you start to print.

About eventual legal objection on the proposed poster (we are debating about this poster since 15/05/2009), the original english version "Is windows holding your PC back?" - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/en/node/114">http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/en/node/114</a> - has been modified and the used screen (XP look-alike) is not a direct reference to Microsoft Windows, we could use the death blue screen with the same effect. The aim of the poster is not to mock Windows but to be an eye-catcher for the public in computer fairs, and to show an alternative : once the contact established, the argumentation is mainly about the advantage of Ubuntu (no "bad Windows"). Additionally, I want to stress the need for assistance and support for volunteers in Dipro computer fairs. -- Jean /Ubuntu Belgium Events Team </pre> <hr size="2" width="100%"> <pre wrap=""> <img alt="" src="cid:part1.02010008.02060609@free.fr" height="512" width="384"></pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
