Heya,
I've got a question for you, experienced and less experienced ambassadors!
If you go to an event with openSUSE DVD's, how many DVD's do you need per visitor?
Depends by the event.
So, say you have 500 visitors, how many DVD's do you need? 200? 300? 100?
For example: Event in a school (example Linux Day or similar): 500 students, 100 DVD are enough. Promotional event only about openSUSE: 100 attenders, 100 DVD Fair 5000 visitor: 300 CD.
And does it make a difference if you also have other things, like stickers, posters, t-shirts and such - do you then need less, or more DVD's?
For this I'm pretty sure In the past years the DVD was the most important thing, but to the present day, with a higher uptake of DSL, the are things (stickers, poster, t-shirts, hats and similar) are attracting much more attention of young people. I noticed however that the elderly, or no longer young, still prefer the DVD.
I'd love to hear some of your input on this.
I think the time is ripe to start talking about a new way to promote GNU/Linux and openSUSE in particular. The DVDs are important, but I think that today we could think of some alternatives (such as a version to be copied in USB flash drives during the events, perhaps creating a small cardboard box, colored and adorned with logos openSUSE, to be connected a computer). Another idea is to create small objects of daily use and low cost, with the openSUSE logo, in addition to those that already exist. For example, the feathers, the USB flash drives, notebooks (not the computer, I mean those of paper), or other similar objects. And we can imagine more....
Hugs, Jos
