They will say : "I>like your stuff. The picture of the bird was so cuuute !" It's perhaps useful for an individual demonstration, even if the first question will be "and my Internet?" (even if the picture of the bird was cute).In my spirit the idea is not to show in practice, but to explain what ubuntu can do (what implies a will of the user). Anyway in any domain (professionnal or personnal) where ubuntu can be shown, the principal question from users is:"can I do the same thing as actually?">(and, hop, I can then increment my Universal Ubuntu Conversion Counter) For me there are no ideas of conversion of a user: Ubuntu succeeded in satisfying his needs or not. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Example files are here to demonstrate capabilities of the programs. If you want to learn something by tinkering around - good for you. But that is not the primary purpose of the example files. -- Sandis -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

This is at least useful on a Live CD.When I demonstrate Ubuntu with a live CD, I've nothing to do and I must always say : "If you had a picture, you could edit it with the gimp, there. If you had a word document, you could..." Some videos, sounds and pictures samples could turn a boring demonstration into something very cool.People will not remember that Ubuntu is easier or better.

By putting examples files in Ubuntu, will it really help people? If you look at how people apprehend the software, you note that they don't read documentation. If you look at how people consider the examples files on others OS, you note that they don't use them. this is not a criticism, but another solution can be considered for the next distribution: - To learn is an action which you make for yourself. - One cannot force somebody to learn. In this case an interesting solution could be to propose a presentation on CD and indicate it on cover. So that a presentation is interesting, it must be short, and indicates the principal points. But it is just a suggestion.
