Hi Jellel,
   
  Nice to meet you. It is glad to meet a young entrepreneur from Netherlands! 
After I have read your email, I have the following questions: 
   
  1. What type of marketing or branding strategy that you have made to improve 
awareness of Ubuntu Linux in Netherlands? 
   
   
  2. Why you select the ¡°Moderately Interest¡± option for answer 4 and 5 of 
the question 5 in the questionnaire while other factors as ¡°High Interest¡±? 
Do you think the OS that can help consumer to achieve their personal needs and 
the emotional benefit (Youth Generation OS, Dancing with Computer: Use It, Love 
It, Pass It On) have no impact on the motivation?
   
   
  3. Similar to question above, why you select the ¡°Moderately Important¡± 
option for answer 4 and 5 of the question 6 in the questionnaire while other 
factors as ¡°High Interest¡±? Do you think the OS that can help consumer to 
achieve their personal needs and the satisfaction cannot make the consumer to 
stay with the same brand?
   
   
  4. What is your company name and your position in that company? What is your 
company website?
   
   
  I have resent the questionnaire design feedback form in PDF format. Please 
comment on the questionnaire. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
   
   

Feedback on this email is very welcome, so everybody feel free to anticipate in 
it!

Thank you.

Dear EricFoong,

My name is Jelle de Jong, I am an entrepreneur and strong believer in
FLOSS technology's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOSS). I have a
starting company specialised in the development and training of embedded
hard- en software system designed with FLOSS technology. I am a member
of the Free Software Foundation Europe (http://www.fsfeurope.org/) and I
do marketing and promoting for FLOSS and Ubuntu Linux in the Netherlands.

In my experience, the first step to motivate students when they have to
do work, involving Ubuntu Linux related items, is to get them USE Ubuntu
as there primarily operating system. Give them support for al there
questions. Also teach them the complete GNU philosophy
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/) But take this step by step. I have seen
people get very annoyed and scared with this flooding of information and
getting the idea that everybody supporting GNU are fools, and you don't
want that! (they and up working for a company called Microsoft!)

The question how to keep people using Ubuntu Linux for the rest of there
live is very important! The fact that Ubuntu Linux is free, is only a
motivator to get people to try Ubuntu Linux. It is important that you
explain all the problems with Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu Linux is not perfect,
neither is Microsoft Windows. When people are fully comfortable with the
negative aspects of Ubuntu Linux and stand behind the GNU/FLOSS
philosophy, they will stay using Ubuntu Linux and overcome all the
obstacles they will find when using Ubuntu Linux. For example a lot of
people have tried Ubuntu Linux, but moved back to Windows because it did
not meet there expectations on the long run!

You can find more research spread over the internet, a good source is
Wikipedia and the FSFE. The documents I send you also contain references
to detailed sources.

Feedback on this email is very welcome, so everybody feel free to
anticipate in it!

Best regards,

Jelle (tuxcrafter)
