Hi Daniel, Thanks for the comments. This is definitely something we were planning to work on anyway, since I know we have been slack in that department. It is a little more challenging in countries like Zimbabwe, partly due to most of the members not having internet access at home (and being too busy at work where they do have access), and also partly due to the fact that people have not completely adopted an "online" way of thinking yet, so efforts have been concentrated on the local community without providing adequate feedback to the larger Ubuntu community. This was also one of the reasons for my original question, as I wanted to be sure of the best way of doing things while I try to encourage the team to get more active on the online side of things, when they can. FYI, we will be sending a full report on the Ubuntu stand at the ICT Africa expo held here last week. I'm just waiting for photographs and a few other things to be finalised. In brief, we were possibly the most popular stand (out of 80+ stands); the Freedom Toaster burnt over 250 discs in 3 days; and over 350 visitors to the stand signed our guest book. We were also visited by both the Minister of ICT and the Prime Minister himself which was welcomed attention! As I said, full report to follow asap.
