Hello everyone, I think im going to write a lot lol. Ok an Ubuntu marketing agent told me about their idea of having Ubuntu in Libraries. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuInLibraries No, its not about installing Ubuntu in the computers but to lend Open source cds to their subscribed users. Actually they copied it from Openoffice. http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/11838/Open%20Source%20CD%20in%20libraries%20Howto.pdf Personally its a wonderful idea because having CDS in libraries will affect the complete newbies mind set of fear towards linux. Considering the fact that librairies is a body of trust. This is mostly an activity done by the lug. Of course if we ambassadors provide enough materials/translation to. Im eager to do it right away in Strasbourg. But comparing to another distros like ubuntu,suse,etc they already have enough materials in their pocket. Example, live cds. I prefer to wait for Fedora to catch up with materials. Let's take for example, Fedora. If a lug happens to realise this project. Among other distros we will only have handouts and Fedora DVDs. Meanwhile students or anyone will prefer to give a try to live cds, leaving Fedora behind. Saying that this particular live distro is based on Fedora isn't enough for the complete newbies. It would rather be useless. If someone tried the "official" fedora LIVE cd if he/she likes it he/she can easily get the install DVD for free for their local lug or lug ambassador or from the library directly.

I suggest we talk and plan about this idea. I know ambassadors from India or Brazil will have alot to say :)) I know we (majority)ambassadors we only popped in during meetings hours, talk and talk. This sounds like acting. Its time to move A55 :) for REAL action.
