I wonder if what we could provide was video tutorials on the installation of the CDs and the online forum support capabilities. If good enough, we might get a CD of the videos included in the kits for everyone who uses the kits. That would bring much attention to the KPLUG if that is of any interest. At the very least, it would get us started on that online video library mentioned at some point in the past. > Some people in and out of the various bureaucracies involved, will > possibly be concerned (rightly) with "safety" .. "How do we know this > isn't some sort of malware?". That's where the On-Disk.com comes in because they have the authority and facilities to manage what's actually on the disk. Or atleast provide an authority to go to regarding this issue if it ever shows up or gets asked. > Can KPLUG maybe set up to help allay any fears along those lines? Unless it is an OSS type of question like Microsoft IP FUD, otherwise it should probably be left to the On-Disk/foundation people. > - add our stamp of approval on individual packages > - make ourselves known/answerable as trustworthy > - offer online help, advice, community (we know how to do this, eh?) I think these are all things which can let the local libraries know that this is real. Having a SIG with some history also helps give the local library system comfort that it's not completely new to everyone and they'll have a local POC for library users.
