• Demonstrating to a school, nursery, preschool, etc. the benefits of [http://www.edubuntu.org Edubuntu]

• Install-fests

• Blogging

The Launchpad membership also allows you to edit the Wiki pages, which is helpful in listing and joining projects as well as other Wiki pages to be developed. Introduce yourself, and where you are in Connecticut, or any other connection (went to school here, grew up here, have friends/family here, etc.). While the focus on the Team is on Connecticut, we reach out further than just our borders.
