Loco promotion

duanedesign

make posters and hang them up

Currently we have very few "active" membeers. We need to advertise the group and get more Ubuntu users to join. A poster needs to be designed and produced. We need to come up with some locations where Ubuntu users are likely to see it. We also might be able to get a few people who were considering switching but haven't done so yet.

Ideas & Brainstorming

Ubuntu Set up "Ubuntu Pick Up Stations" at libraries, retailers, ect.. where people can get a free CD along with some additional information to show people how Ubuntu can do everything they were doing on Windows.

Ubuntu Community Outreach Team. Start relationships with local non profits, public schools, and businesses. Encourage them to transition to Ubuntu and provide support as they do. Look at whatPennsylvania LoCo Outreach has done.

Ubuntu A fund-raiser to buy computer(s) for underprivileged Oklahoma kids. Start an Email fund-raiser asking for $5 to $10. Use the money to buy a OLPC XO computer or possibly a decent used computer. Another possibility is to encourage people to donate their used computers for us to redistribute with Ubuntu. We could publicize the obvious benefit of open source/free software to underprivileged kids and the opportunity it affords them that they might not normally get. Through press releases and local media coverage use the publicity and credibility to solicit more substantial donations and incrementally grow the project.

Ubuntu Help team members interested in triaging bugs and setting their computer up for the 5-a-day program. As more team members start triaging congratulate members on their 5-a-day stats.

Ubuntu Talk to local LUG's and computer clubs about giving a presentation about Linux.

Ubuntu Advocate the use of Ubuntu throughout the state of Oklahoma

Ubuntu Local campaigning and activism for GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Free Software, Free Formats,

Ubuntu Help make Ubuntu better by improving the Official Documentation and helping with Bug Triage.
