Ubuntu-ie Digest, Vol 76, Issue 3

[Mark Murphy]

I think distributing to local libraries is a brilliant idea. The coder dojos 
around my area are none too active, but it might be worthwhile giving out some 
copies to them. The men's sheds might be another good idea. How many DVDs is 
the loco going to get? Would it be an idea to give the official DVDs into local 
computer shops? Might help promote Ubuntu at source, as it were. Or maybe even 
the local corner shop? Might not be appropriate. Though we could make a little 
box with details of the loco , irc channel, support addresses etc.

Just a few thoughts, as they say.

Thanks and Regards,

Mark
