Person opinion here, I think both should be advertised perhaps on radio ie talk back 3ZB (chris hint hint don't ya just love it chris). Told my wife averil about his talk and she said should she come along due to being in te same boat and julia (but it's been THE only OS she's known since starting to use te PC). Oh and i don't think she'd be confidant enoug to talk infront of folks but as a one on one over a cuppa she'd probably be more open to talk. dave. > > Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > Budget for Press Advert? > > > > On 2/3/08, Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> usenet, geekzone.co.nz, Press, pubic libraries, microsoft.co.nz :-) > >> > >> But someone will need to pull finger and do it! > >> > >> Otherwise I fear Yuri will be preaching to the converted. > >> > >> On Sun, February 3, 2008 12:53 pm, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > >>> It seems to me that this talk would have appeal to a much wider > >>> audience than just the list members and the occasional wiki visitor. > >>> Thus I wonder if it's sensible to advertise Yuri and Julia more widely > >>> than just the list and wiki? > >>> > >>> If so, I wonder what medium? > >>> > >>> On 2/3/08, Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>>> yuri, please update the Planned Meetings page on the wiki. > >>>> > >>>> On Sat, February 2, 2008 10:32 pm, yuri wrote: > >>>>> On Tuesday 12 Feb, > >>>>> Julia and I will be presenting a talk aimed at Linux-curious folk > >>>>> entitled "Is Linux Right For Me?". > >>>>> I will be presenting some pros and cons and considerations to help > >>>>> people decide whether Linux is the right choice for them. > >>>>> Julia will be talking about her experiences as a non-techie using > >>>>> Linux because it happens to be the only operating system available in > >>>>> her household (because her husband can't/won't maintain Microsoft > >>>>> software). > >>>>> > >>>>> I will be covering the normal tasks most people want from their > >>>>> computer - email, browsing, wordprocessing, playing music, playing > >>>>> video. > >>>>> I will also mention (briefly) some of the philosophical reasons for > >>>> > >>>> using > >>>> > >>>>> Linux. > >>>>> I will be honest and mention special cases where I think people > >>>>> should stick to Windows or MacOS. > >>>>> > >>>>> I will not be covering gaming. > >>>>> If any Linux gamers want to give a short spiel about gaming on Linux > >>>>> please let me know ASAP and I'll slot you in.
