[dundee] Fwd: [opensuse-announce] openSUSE DVDs

[Robert Ladyman]

I have forwarded this from one of the OpenSuSE mailing lists. You never know, 
someone might want to become an OpenSnoozer. Me? I'm thinking of pclinuxos...


> One of the easiest things to do to contribute to the free and open
> source movement and the openSUSE Project is to exercise your second free
> software freedom: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help
> your neighbor.
> 
> To be able to do this comfortably the openSUSE Project, with the help of
> its sponsors, produces special promotional DVDs that contain live
> versions of both the KDE and GNOME desktops to try and which can also be
> used to install the a complete system. Those DVDs are perfect for
> introducing people to Linux and openSUSE. The openSUSE version included,
> 11.3, has all the qualities a newcomer wants. It’s a mature
> multi-purpose Linux operating system widespread among the free and open
> source software community for great user to user support. It comes with
> more with than 1,000 open source desktop applications, a full suite of
> server software and a rich selection of open source development tools.
> 
> So today the openSUSE Project would like to encourage you make use of
> your second free software freedom and help us to spread promo DVDs! It’s
> easy, think about where you could have the chance to spread them, then
> order them from us and do it. How about you putting them out in your
> local community centre, you give some to the computer science teacher of
> your daughter’s school or how about the guys that operate your
> university’s support desk? The clubhouse of your football club? The next
> concert or other event you attend or maybe on the toilet in your
> cousin’s bar? The internet café around the corner for sure! The
> possibilities are endless. If you think you know a place where people
> pick them up and try them, go for it! Helping us is as simple as
> ordering DVDs from us and going out to talk to the venues if you can
> leave a couple of them. You would be surprised how many people find a
> nice, shiny, green openSUSE DVD interesting enough to finally try this
> Linux thing they heard about so much on the internet.

> So if you can think of anything just contact us about the amount you
> need and where we need to send them. For this just send an email to
> 
> promodvds at opensuse.org
> 
> Don’t be shy about the amount, we don’t need to scrimp on them! If you
> think you can get spread 500 we’ll send you 500. Every DVD that is out
> there, is out there and might result in a new free and open source
> software and openSUSE user. This is the perfect opportunity to do
> something good for free and open source software and the openSUSE
> project, take it!
