I am happy to say that, as covered in another post, I did mange to 
create a custom CD.

I can further report that I had a meeting with my senior contact at 
the charity local area and at least it was looked at. The person is 
very non IT and it was the custom 'Branding' which initillty got me 
the meeting, and prevented eyes glazing over too fast.
I can recommend the approach as a constructive marketing strategy.

I will be following it up with a national contact in the organisation 
now, and this may be a multistage and rather slow process. However I 
am very pleased that Ubuntu is on the map even though they do not (at 
present anyway) have motivation to go there.
