CRP will handle advertisement. So anything done by us would be optional, additional advertisement. So we should only do the "easy" stuff from the below list, and drop anything else that might be too time intensive.

• If time left (now rather short), we may do own poster (based on http://www.linux.lu/Fest2006/Posters).
• Hang it out in schools (prepare 4 weeks in advance, hang out 2 1/2 week in advance)
• Hang it out at work or elsewhere (only authorized places please.)
• Print as A5 and A6 flyer and distribute it (Clubs, Mailboxes, Shops ...)
• Create a WEB-banner and distribute/advertise it.
• Add the event to all calenders you know off.
• Post to all mailing lists.

• We should have a couple of CDs of various distributions to hand out. 2 of each kind should be largely enough (most people actually have either already bought a version themselves, or buy one at our stand)
  • SuSE
  • Kubuntu
  • Fedora
  • Knoppix (possibly customized LiLux version, needs time (!), yes i think its too late now, but for next year we could think of it ...)

  • Mandrake
  • OpenCD
  • Plan for enough blank CDs in case we run out of one distro
  • Ubuntu & Kubuntu may be shipped mid june, we have to prepare some downloaded versions.

!! would be important to have a lot of ubuntu dapper drake CDs as the desktop course will be based on it !! (PascalSteichen: can provide some download versions, but i would be nice to have some original version, wasn't there a shipping for the LinuxFest ? we should have got them by now)
