[Please direct followups to debian-cd-vendors; thanks!] I think it might be a good idea for all of the Debian vendors (or many of them, at any rate) to put in some money toward running an ad in LJ, featuring the new logo, and touting Debian's technical superiority over the other distributions.
Basically, the idea is to run a full-page ad, the top 2/3 of which would just be a general advertisement for Debian (# of packages, most complete architecture support of any distribution, superior package management system, compatibility with Linux standards, open development model, etc.); at the bottom, an alphabetical list of the ad's sponsors would be presented, with perhaps something like "Get Debian from any of these vendors:" over the top. I'd like to do something that would coincide with the release of potato (2.2). If something comes of the "GNU Inside" effort, it could incorporate that too (perhaps in lieu of using "GNU/Linux", though I guess that would be up to a majority of the paying participants in the ad). Any comments?
