Activity Ideas

• The group is still fledgling, but it appears some members of the Team will be meeting face-to-face in the future and a number of us have voiced the desire of having a large Team-wide meeting sometime soon. Some other quick ideas include

• Demonstration at a computer club
• Adult Education Classes (and pass out free, professional looking Ubuntu CDs!)
• Participating in a computer club's meetings (even non-Linux groups as an informational talk)

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

• Install-fests
• Hand out CDs at trade shows and flea markets
• Blogging

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.
