Linux World Canada Show, April 24-26, 2006

[Evan Leibovitch]

The low-tech solution requires no PCs on site. Besides the advantage of 
needing neither power nor someone to bring in a system, this saves 
people time so they're not standing around waiting for discs to burn. 
And if the disks get stolen nobody needs to freak out.

Get distro makers, especially those who don't normally have a presence 
at the show, to send CDs. While Novell and Red Hat are likely to be 
there, others such as Xandros, Linspire and Mandriva will likely not. 
Distributing their wares at the show offers them a cheap presence and 
gives TLUG something to hand out.

While we don't know if the above distros can spare many disks to give 
out, we do know that Ubuntu does have a free distribution program so at 
least it can be counted upon. 

Alternately, possibly, Novell and/or Red Hat could be persuaded to fund 
a production run of SuSE and Fedora disks. These are good to have in a 
community area but might not be appropriate to have at the vendors' own 
booths.
