I had a bit of an epiphany yesterday after attending my local LUG (Linux User Group). What if we (the Ubuntu Community) could construct an outline for the establishment and management of internet cafés that promote Ubuntu.
This would be a great initiative for us to peruse and would have many flow on benefits:
Exposure and promotion for Ubuntu
Real life social networking and the pleasure of demonstrating Ubuntu for those involved
What would be really cool is branded ‘Ubuntu Cafés’, that use uniform signage which incorporates the wonderful and highly distinguishable Ubuntu logo. This has the possibility of really raising Ubuntu’s profile, imagine travelling around the world and being able to go to a Ubuntu café where ever you go that looks, feels and works the same.
The Cafés should be run as ‘not for profits’ by local LUGs and volunteers. Anyway tell me what you think, I'm really keen to hear your opinions.
