The people you meet will [hopefully] be a nice surprise, more open

Please let me know of any Ubuntu flag?
I would like to consider this, I also attend events where a flag would
be a benefit. The Orange Ubuntu logo is less attractive than the
multicoloured legacy logo. Before the logo changed I contacted the
Ubuntu shop and also flag makers to see what could be done. It was
deemed to be not shop worthy, and flags seemed surprisingly expensive
as custom items.
We have the Ubuntu table cloths which are branded nicely and many teams
world wide use them at events. Some people also have pop up stands,
again leads to looking more professional as it has our branding on it.
Table cloths are good for close up, already captured, customers.
Pop up stands - I think I used one via Alan Pope a few years ago -
signal 'corporate' which is really good in some contexts. In other
contexts 'corporate' is a no no because 'community', 'voluntary' and
'local group' are very non-corporate in the traditional sense.
However, a flag is a generally seen as happiness on a stick, and at a
distance too. The world now (unwittingly) awaits a wider advertising
of Ubuntu, and flags could play a part in that.
I originally had in mind car window flags, and also a larger flag to
hoist at various non tech camping type rallies.
