''Please check the status of this specification in Launchpad before editing it. If it is Approved, contact the Assignee or another knowledgeable person before making changes.'' * '''Launchpad Entry''': https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-belgium/+spec/promotional-materials/ == Summary == The Belgium team need to fix the promotional material problem. This spec was already discussed on the ubuntu-be kickoff meeting: [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/2008kickoff/promotional%20materials|meeting notes]] == Rationale == The Belgium team lacks promotional material, the only thing we have are the flyers, and some printed CD's. == Use Cases == * Schools would like to have a Ubuntu poster, but we can only send the to the official ubuntu.com shop. * People on the fairs would like to have Ubuntu gadgets, they even want to pay for them. == Implementation == As discussed on the kickoff meeting, we would need two kind of items: * Gadgets, that can make some money from to sponsor ubuntu-be.org * Give away material, that we can give for free. === marketing material (Give away for free) === * small flyer (fast to read, like the current existing) * multi-page fyers (at fairs...) * posters {{attachment:poster-small.png}} * stickers? (with maybe *only* the ubuntu logo, small (few cm)) * promotion-kit for hardware vendors === Gadget material (as some kind of money machine to pay for the marketing material) === * i.e. USB-sticks..? * pencils... * possible problem: selling this at fairs may result in loosing the 'non-profit-org'-subscription fee * T-shirts: Pierre's brother's company could get some printed. Not limited to T-shirts, you can make more textile's like: * cap-sweater... * Other ideas: * Ask money for computer-club-visits in name of ubuntu-be and the money goes to ubuntu-be * Ask money at ubuntu-install-parties? (Now it is a free gift: keep that way?) * Ask an organisation to put our name (ubuntu-be) as 'organising party' for a bingo-night (
