The Maryland Loco team is developing one or more brochures as a handout for new users and those that might be interested in Ubuntu.
Once posted I'll edit this post with a link to what we have. Please take some time to look it over and post your comments here or send them to the mailing list.
Hey, I am very interested in such a brochure... has it been developed yet?
I'm too. I've been trying to convice some friends at work of trying Ubuntu, but really haven't had any time to follow! let us know please when it's ready!
Did this ever develop? If not, maybe I'll take a whack at a tri-fold PDF. Any suggestions regarding content?
