BCF Fairs Ive listed because these > genuinely are not part of the Info point idea, because well it developed > parrallel to and I never had heard of infopoint stuff, aside: Infopoint as such is a distro neutral activity, and but the superb branding and psuedo retail CD packaging means that the focus has rapidly become k/ubuntu. In this way, Infopoint is a vehicle for Ubuntu-ukTeam in some of its its objectives, and I support the 'BCF' listing without specific mention of Infopoint. In addition, I for one, hand out K/Ubuntu CDs in the local town variously. The Dixons PC specialist was pleased to receive one and expected to try it when his current panic was over....... There is also a local BCS evening talk on the open source software debate which I plan to attend, and unless specifically forbidden I will have a bundle of kubuntu CDs and hopefully a laptop on hand when appropriate. I have also offered a short article or so to a local Volunteer Agency newsletter (they had no idea what open source sw was) and also a email letter to a local paper. I am not sure they were used, but the media direct information push can certainly become one of our objectives if not a yet established 'skill'. > however we > provide Ubuntu to returning interested visitors so Id count it in.

I note that we also have defined methods of communication - email, list, IRC etc, an essential facility for a resource group. Keep up the great work Nik! PS The Firefox buy out of a NewYork TImes page a few years back keeps resurfacing in my mind. It may not be an isolated UK exclusive activity, but it would be lovely to move in a similar direction. -- alan c -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
