Thanks, and Well Done for carrying it through! [...] > We had a variety of leaflets, both the text only versions (Alan Cock's > FOSS leaflets) and the Had Enough beta leaflet. I have recently concluded upon reflection that the FOSS leaflet is too much of a culture shock mismatch to the user-in-the-street as it is. In fact at my recent computer fair I did not offer it, I only offered the Free and Open Source Software - 'Information' one. Whic is regularly offered and taken from the counter of a local computer shop. > We managed to give out a few leaflets, and sold ONE copy of The > OpenCD. may I ask what price?

The back page of my 'Information' leaflet (see above) has an outline picture of tux. I have a larger copy if anyone needs it. I use it in A4 size as coloured in by -hand- with dayglo markers as a fun DIY flag on my infopoint table. Part of the idea is to distance myself from big business and suggest a more 'wholemeal' approach..... The simple non coloured leaflets also suggest this. However, the Shipit CD packs are attractive enough to be acceptable in the final decision stages of a newbie 'take'. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
