I like the idea of raising awareness. Most people are nowadays geared 
to expect advertising, mostly high profile advertising. If a product 
is not advertised, it does NOT exist.

I think that a good start is to use as many Ubuntu bumper stickers as 
we can. Simple, quick, mass advertising.

The important reasons 'why Ubuntu?' will be of interest in stage two, 
when we have peoples attention.
