A while back, I mentioned on sage-marketing the idea of making "Burma Sage" advertisements for the Joint Meetings or some similar event.
(For those who don't know about Burma Shave advertisements: [1]) I made up some examples. :) Why Sage and you are a good match: "Just implement it and send us a patch!" Our GUI surely works on your computer box because it just runs in Firefox. Our code, our bugs; we've nothing to hide. Download the source and look inside. The idea, I guess, is that we would put up each line along a hallway or some other relatively linear area, and add a fifth line to each: "Burma Sage: sagemath.org". I have a few others, which don't have quite the poetic rhythm: Can't afford one of the big three M's? Switch to Sage zero fees ever again Determinant of matrix over ZZ? of all math software Sage can't be beat Counting partitions of 11269 keep you up at night? Relax, my friend Sage gets it right In the second one above, we could just use any thing that Sage computes really fast, and the third one is a jab at Maple; see [2]. One of the most famous Burma Shave ads was one that promised a free trip to Mars for 900 empty jars [3]; we could do something with free source code. Anyway, these are just some ideas. Thoughts?
