-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If we can't get any computer fairs down, here or they are dying due to vendors turning to the internet, perhaps this could be an alternate plan Many charity groups and organisations hold events to raise funds, e.g raffle, stalls, etc, craft sales, bric-a-brac (for the benefit of those who don't know what this is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bric-a-brac) Perhaps we could look in to getting a table at such an event, clearly if we were to sell cd's or offer a cd burn service so if anyone wanted a cd to take home with them we can simply burn for them (iso + simple bash script to copy / burn to cd) We could still sell these for £1 but donate 1/2 the profits to the said charity. We could by doing this target the sort of people who would benefit the most from Linux, low income people or perhaps someone who just wants a simple set up, just to do e-mail, internet etc, but at the same time we could offer our own services to help them if need be, (given there are people here to fix computers etc) or at least promote any local businesses that do. (so for ink perhaps we can promote refresh cartridges) Just an idea, but perhaps once they know who we are we can perhaps see if we can help them in otherways (old equipment right up to what rob set up at exwick), which i am sure there are many faclilties for older people that would benefit. any comments?
