simplest way... do it with friends around you first. you can view what is their opinions then. I've already spreading ubuntu among my friends... and i got positive and negative views from them... but still, now i've successfully convinced some end users to use ubuntu and these people are those who are already experience windows and some of them never use a PC before. Good news, yesterday i got buzzed on my pidgin and my friend who work as a webmaster is happily announce me that he just converted to Ubuntu... hahaha.. what can i say... Welcome to Ubuntu!!! that was what i can do alone... but i hope, with helps from all of you, we can be more convincing and soon you'll see lots of supports on hardware and software available when those manufacturer people see that Ubuntu users are growing like the grass in a green field... (that is my mission hehehehe....) <div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 28, 2008 8:00 AM, Shaifful <<a href="mailto:shaifful.md@gmail.com">shaifful.md@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'm so sorry for my absence yesterday, It was accidentally and was not plan at all. So I for the Next time, I will try to include myself and try to join you guys. Ok for number 2 (a letter from Wariola of course), my suggestions is that we need to try contacting as many of these university representatives because there are few Universities that already have their Open Source team. And with help of these Universities open source team we could gather more participants and hopefully as many user. In the Event, for the presentation or maybe for the Show off Part (demo), we can try to demonstrate Ubuntu to the people outside. Because, I think people was still afraid of using Ubuntu or Linux, because they feel insecure, they don't really have time to explore and learn. You cant put Windows Vista and Ubuntu side by side, compare the features.., starting from the Installation of the Ubuntu etc.. so that they would see, from their point of view. You all know that by Only listen, we gain only 25%, by listen and hear 50%, by listen, hear and see 75%, by listen, hear, see and participate we can win their heart. Thats All from me.
