We have nothing to sell so the only advertisement that we need is to make ourself known so that people can use our distribution. Luckily many people already use Debian and when they are happy with it they advise Debian to their friends. Several big users of Debian put banners and logos on their website acknowledging the use of Debian and promoting it at the same time. Some Debian developers (and even debian users) participate in various events (LinuxExpo, Libre Software Meeting, etc.) and present Debian to the visitors. We even have some material available on our website to help them setup a Debian booth (http://www.debian.org/events/material). When we have news, we post them on our mailing-lists and the subscribers (our users) usually forward them where they like (slashdot, linuxfr, debianplanet, ...). > so if you know any website about this topic, or have any information, > I would appreciate. If you have other precise question feel free to ask. Even in French by private mail if you wish.
