Good idea,

The shoreline bar in Paignton are happy for us to put posters up prior
to lug meets, so if you wanted to invite people along, or perhaps invite
any customers who happen to be in the cafe to view a demo, of ubuntu,
that is perhaps possible.

Otherwise,  I think we need to get together, and really plan what we
want to do, what we need, how we are going to advertise, etc.


I think the idea of having a flyer with the list of applications is a
good one,  we could put those around places,  and if people want a cd
they can come and see us at a meeting perhaps,

Perhaps we can get this designed or at least printed professionally.

one of the problems with cd's esp with the open cd is they go out of
date quickly  with ubuntu the next version has a known release date but
with the open cd they can release a new version in between. for example
there is usually one around software freedom day.
