Re: [Staffslug] What are YOU doing to promote FOSS and Linux?
I feel that it's an important issue in the open source community. I
just wondered what this LUG's general attitude to it was, whether people
are doing anything to promote the use of open source and try to get
people to convert.
That and I think it's interesting to see how actively committed people
are to the idea of open source and whether it's more of a personal thing
for them or a public thing.

Introduced Knoppix as a rescue tool there too + Testing network access

Implemented ClarkConnect at a Stafford Youth organisation, also Open
Office, Scrubus and other Open Source software on XP there.
Why do you ask?

more people should be using it. BUT. What are you doing
within your

alternative
to MS and other closed source products?
Do you recommend it to people when their computers break? Do
you hand
out CDs are the local computer fair and to your mates etc?
