Hi Popey -
I think the question I was trying to get to is: does Canonical have
resources/templates/marketing plans that they use with user groups (or
generally for evangelical marketing)?
Apple used to fund student ambassadors, do demo days, provide collateral, etc.
This was part of the overa

Hey folks --
I've been thinking about this for a while. As someone who used to work
on Apple higher education marketing and a big fan of Guy Kawasaki, I
think there are a lot of things that are possible.
Probably we are talking about two things:
1) Advocacy/marketing to possible new users.
2) M

well you are certainly not wrong, it has kind of drifted off, and my
name is still on the door as point of contact, I am happy to step aside
if that would help, or carry on (I am still sending out 14.04 CDs to

For advocacy, I've taken a similar route to that of Melodie[1] I sourced a
coupler of old computers, installed lubuntu on them and donated them to the
local youth centre. So, they get to use the OS :D
Old kit lends itself to l/xubuntu and the likes of bentoo. Heck, I even
learned how to make a non
