Another idea (albeit an at times controversial one) is doing some
well-placed PC-Jacking. What this is essentially is bringing a few
Live CDs into a store that sells computers, pop them in the CD-ROM
drives of any computers that have the drive accessible, reboot, and
walk away. If you wish, optionally stick around and photograph
customers' intrigue at an unusual desktop. It's also a good idea to
leave a short explanation, either as a pamphlet or written directly on
the disk, so both interested people know what this is about, and store
staff when they (eventually) find it know that it's not actually
breaking the hardware. A short stack of CDs to take with and a few
pamphlets (like mine that was handed out at the recent Ubuntu
Canada-Toronto marketing event) are a great idea if you have the
funds. I made a page on the wiki for brainstorming along these lines
for anyone interested - all I ask is that of course all such efforts
be kept peaceful and reasonable, as we're merely spreading awareness,
not seeking some sort of revenge or whatever. For reference and your
thoughts, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PCJacking .
