The Student Unions around here will go for 'beer and Ubuntu.'They are running a serious business with highly liquid cash-flows. Maybe also consider other reward schemes ?
Looking for a venue in Darlington to hold Ubuntu 'Get-Together.' Then will also set two more up in other localities, in August / September time. Need to check whether Uni's are willing to allow non-students to attend events. I have about 20 CD's. However these are like gold at the moment. Need to distribute them to people who know how to use them. And are more seriously interested.
