we were discussing the viability/value of, say, leaving a handful with the local University library, which doesn't really qualify as an event.

I don't have any 11.4 DVDs handy, but IIRC we had "Linux for Open Minds" on the front of that one - maybe it's enough to do that again?
(I wonder what percentage of people know the term "Linux" but not "operating system" and vice versa...?)

I was thinking this very think at O-Week this year - the student union gives out 'showbags' and I'm sure most student unions do the same. It's a massive marketing opportunity and groups like this are always keen to have goodies to put in their bags. People will flip over to see what it is, so text on the front isn't critical, but I think it's a great idea to try and make sure that it's crystal-clear for non-geeks. (Backed up by a good leaflet explaining how to use it, making sure that they can run it 'LIVE' with absolute confidence that they won't accidentally wipe their HD) plus pointing out the value of the live disk as a safe way to do internet banking and for rescuing borked systems. It's a matter of balance I think - don't overload it, but information can certainly go on the front so long as it integrates sensibly with the artwork. In fact... how awesome would it be do do a University special preloaded with some non standard apps like PSPP and Zotero.... ! Ok well I know it's hard enough to get standard editions out there.... it was just an idea..... :) -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
