-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Lets suppose you're in a relaxed location, your home or business maybe, and a distant family member, friend or co-worker (someone you know but not very well) says "Hey, what's that on your computer?".
Assume you only have a short while to demo Ubuntu to them - maybe 5 to 10 minutes - you don't want to spend all day boring them and you don't want to eat up your/their family/work time. Leaving aside the explanation of what Free Software is, and what the Ubuntu project does, but focussing for now on "What it does and how it's a cool, useful, productive tool", what would you show them? I am of course assuming Ubuntu and Unity here :) Here's a few things I'd consider showing them. * Dash/Launcher - showing how I search for and start apps, and how I switch between applications and files * Default apps - show that it comes with office, IM, graphics, CD/DVD burner, email etc pre-installed * Software centre - how I can find apps, read reviews and install new stuff What about you? What would you show and tell?
