Get together with a few local Linux-users (unless you're rich enough to go about this on your own) and donate a subscription for some linux magazine (or several of them) to your local library. This way you can save money by sharing the cost of a subscription and maybe recruit unsuspecting librarygoers to the wonderful world of a free operating system.

I haven't queried whether my library would accept a donation like this, but I have seen some sticker on some book stating that it was donated by some organization.

I like this idea. If only my library was bigger, we have a crap one here. Though, we have four computers, I'll start pulling up the Ubuntu page on every single one of them whenever I leave.

The problem is if you can find a good Linux Mag to subscribe to, the Linux Mag in Hong Kong are, I would say, below standards.

I don't think we have any linux magazines in Swedish, but I'd probably go for one from the UK.
