Hi every body....<div>I am doing my bbm final at Brindavan College, Bangalore.</div><div>We had a business plan competition happening here...</div><div>I took this opportunity and sold a remasterd gnu/linux distro after adding all software that</div>
<div>a normal user would need. </div><div><br></div><div>We where charging for the Dvd and Installation support (Rs.100)</div><div>Compiz, Gnome Do etc was pre Installed.</div><div><br></div><div>We successfully helped around 60 Students and Lecturers to change from windows to Gnu/Linux.</div>
<div>In fact each time we gave a demo, 2 or 3 bought a copy. Only reason students are not using this </div><div>is because they don't know about this. They have a feeling that this things are not user friendly.</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>We where also promoting the free software philosophy. We wrote on the DVD that it was freely redistrubutable.</div><div><br></div><div>We where selling it in the name uniQx, everything from icons to theme where rebranded.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the End we won the business plan and students came to know the power of Gnu/Linux. We also published a bulletin comparing</div><div>features of linux with windows 7.</div><div><br></div><div>Wrote this so that this serves as an inspiration to plan similar campaigns in campuses etc</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanking You</div><div>Safwan Erooth</div>
