I've e-mailed two presenters on the radio stations I work at.

Firstly I e-mailed Chris Edgecombe at Gemini Torbay 
(http://www.geminitorbay.co.uk - click on Shows & DJ's and then select 
Edgey) who does the breakfast show.  Chris is known as Edgey so I 
mentioned Ubuntu 'Edgy' Eft which I thought might appeal to him.  I have 
also mentioned that there are other versions of Linux avaliable and 
we're hoping on letting people try them all out and have the option to 
have them installed on their PC.

I then e-mailed Suse Gale at Lantern FM (http://www.lanternfm.co.uk - 
click on Shows & DJ's and then select Mornings).  Of course I mentioned 
OpenSUSE to Suse and basically a bit about what we're trying to acheve.

Hopefully this will get positive feedback, support and a mention from 
the presenters.  I'm also hoping they will mention it to the other 
presenters and staff at the stations.

I will also drop an e-mail to South Hams Radio (Totnes, South Hams 
area), Plymouth Sound (Plymouth and surrounding areas) and Orchard FM 
(Somerset).  I think I'll have to get in touch with the Glastonbury LUG 
to see if they're interested in doing something for Children In Need.
