Hi,
As we all know, the Laptops distributed by the TN govt. is going
to have only non-free software. So as a counter measure I had an idea
of making posters, banners, hand-outs and brochures, explaining the
ill-effects of using windows and the costs involved.
That is a great Idea. But try to mention as Proprietary software in common
as I am having many incidents (bad) that occurred when I simply used the
Name of the OS. Especially in the crowd with Microsoft student partners.
Can people who are good in GIMP or Inkscape design such things so
that people can distribute it when a laptop distribution ceremony is
going on?
Hope Asking help to Free software foundation and Ubuntu-India teams will
give a better help and crowd.
A brief explanation about the laptop distribution ceremony will be good so
that we can know when and where it is gonna happen.
We would need as many different types or versions of the posters/
banners hand-outs et al to do this. Expecting co-operation and help
from all LUG people. Please help to spread the message.
I have added ubuntu-in mailings list and FSFTN mailings list to get some
more audience. If I get a clear overview and a good explanation about the
release, then I can post it in my blog and some of my friends' blog too.
With Regards,
~~Kumaran R
