Promoting Puppy at Computer Shows
Had the computer show today.
Handed out about 30 of the flyers and had the .pdf on screen most of the time for people to look at.
We had 7 people take for 'donation' a DVD of 2.15CE. All the money goes for more CD's/DVD's for the next show.
Talked to about 10 people already using Puppy in the San Antonio, Texas area. Also talked to a number of Ham operators that are looking at the Ham version as well as the regular to paly with. I may look at our getting together a 'PuppyLUG' group to meet just before our SATLUG meetings and see where it heads.
Pizzagood: Everyone loved your one liners and paragraphs.
Nathan F: Good comments on the .pdf.

Nice flyer. One comment:
Puppy Linux:Unleashed your computer!
is gramatically incorrect
"Puppy Linux:Unleash your computer!"
would be better

vs. 2 has better font for visual scanning.
perhaps the column on the lower left would be easier to track either right or left aligned, i've read that centering should be reserved for titles and headings. or perhaps it's fine.
the thumbs in the upper left are maybe a bit pixallated.
a nice sharp 90 deg angle in the upper left might help square it all off.
the dog is in a position that sort of has it's crotch projected at the viewer. some people might get turned off by that. some people see pics, some words.
speaking of words, what does "and no auditors" mean? that's the only part that didn't make sense to me.

If any one is in the San Antonio, TX area May 10, the next computer show will be at the Live Oak civic Center. The San Antonio Linux Users Group will be showing off graphics packages. I will be running several under Puppy. Right now I plan to use 3.01, but if 4.0 is operational on my computers I will try that.

Xmas show
Been a while. The next Computer Show is Dec 10, 2011, Live Oak Civic Center near San Antonio, TX. We are still showing off Puppy as well as the other Linux distributions and get a number of return visitors. The Xmas show is where we try and show off Linux aimed at the younger set.
Our Dec 14, 2011 meeting is our Xmas party. See satlug.org for how to get to our meetings at Rackspace.
The exotic computer group, xcssa.org , normally joins us for this, come meet all the 'Geeks'.
