Wow, thank you Elizabeth. I was thinking the same things. I am already registered and will be at the booth helping. I have a disk of most of the Ubuntu distro's that I will be bringing.
Question. Is there any follow through with those people who stop by and see us? I know that people are busy, and they express and interest, then they want to hear back. They want to feel a part but for many reasons don't reach out. How do we deal with this?

This team is completely community run and we only have limited support from Canonical (they ship us about 150 DVDs of the release every 6 months for us to give out at events - and we run out fast!). If you're interested in getting a feel for the team and meeting some of us, we'll be hosting a booth at the upcoming Southern California Linux Expo at the LAX Hilton and you're welcome to drop by (expo only pass is $10, if you are interested in volunteering to help us at the booth let us know!): http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x That said, my suggestions: Check out some of the promotional material at http://spreadubuntu.org - it's community run and can be very hit or miss, but there are some good things up there if you dig around and I always encourage folks to contribute back the products they made If you are willing to buy DVDs, Canonical sells them directly: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 There is also an Ubuntu Advocacy Kit that's being developed by community members, it doesn't really have brochures that are printable yet, but they're going in that direction: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-adk Jono Bacon wrote a blog post about how to install what they have so far: http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/12/14/ubuntu-advocacy-development-kit-packaged/ Finally, BerkeleyLUG wrote some pamphlets a couple years back. They are badly in need of a refresh (need updated details and screenshots at the very least), but it may give you a good starting point and I'm sure they'd love to have someone contribute them back so they can print up new ones too: http://www.berkeleylug.com/?page_id=2 Hope this helps! -- Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
