The location begs for more upfront retail push techniques. One hting we did which I think made a good difference was to walf around th ewhole area and also outside in the town, with a sign on a short stick saying Get your free CDs Now! Software Freedom Day. Princess Square Note: the mantra get 'your free CDs NOW!' seems to be a very effective attention capture mechanism...... The philosophy comes later. The sign could be held a meter above head level, and the stick had two SFD balloons hanging from it. The holder wore the bright orange SFD Tee shirt. All very visible :-) and it certainly had a lot of people looking at it. It took a bit of brass neck to do but was well worth it. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
