this may be the way forward, they have the resouces to create the items in house, and sell them via the site, all we would need is a link to our shop on their site the various team pages, funds raised can perhaps go towards more advocacy etc, for ubuntu generally I think we need the backing of canonical for this, and work with them to make it all work, i agree however that doing these posters your self the cost builds up, i have just downloaded some a5 posters, and am about to laminate them, i also downloaded a flyer with pull off tabs at the bottom which I have perforated (as my cutter does that), this looks fine, but posters and things to be displayed must look professional, we are up against Microsoft on this and we need to be able to at least try to compete with regard to poster quality. You never know if we had the funds we could advertise on a bus, Paignton RFC sell banners for 200 quid including the banner and site hire for a year, (i think or could be season september to may), but it would be good exposure, which is what we need, as people have mentioned COmputer = microsoft = windows, this needs to change and will change if people start seeing Linux / Ubuntu etc etc all over the place, it will take time but should have the desired effect.
