This time of the year, I gather all excess Ubuntu CD's that friends have
(just before the release of a new version). Then I take them, and leave
them in public places (malls, libraries, etc). I put them down at
strategic places where someone will definitely take it, even if it's a
shop assistant. At least that might get them to use Ubuntu (or even
install Firefox/OOo from the live cd) which will get them interested in
Ubuntu. I remember with the Warty CD's, I strategically places more than
300 CD's in a very busy mall in Bellville.
