[Ubuntu-SG] Software Freedom Day - Ubuntu Installation Service?

[K Sitt]

Hi All,

I have been toying about the idea of providing Ubuntu installation service
on the SFD.

My idea is like this. We can charge nominal fees for each install on the
laptop (say $5 per install).
The point is to make people see the switch to Ubuntu as less risky. For that
we may need to provide some back up media (DVD-R) to back up their data
before the install attempt.

That way we have different advantages.

1). More people has a chance to try Ubuntu,
2). We can raise some fund to recover the cost.

There will be a few things needed.
1). DVD-R media
2). DVD Writer. (most lap-tops have them but for those who doesn't its more
convenient)
3). Ubuntu CD or DVD (which I believe, we have already got)
4). Volunteers to provide service.


Well, just my may be 1c.

Regards
K
