Description
Stores: I think it would be great is there were some Ubuntu posters at stores up next to the Apple and Microsoft ones. Of course it would be hard to get them up at huge corporate places, but at some small places its guaranteed they know what Linux is.

Schools: Send them to schools. They will put them up! regardless if they know what it is or not. There are probably even teachers here, who would be willing to put up posters.

I also suggest narrow vertical posters!?

Great idea! I have seen many posters at the schools I've been. Most from MS but also some about Suse or ReadHead. A nice Ubuntu poster wouldn't hurt. If the design is right (e.g. the circle of people) it might also make people aware that it is an free OS for humans and not "freaks".

yeah good idea, maybe send them with the cd from shipit.ubuntu.com as an optional extra! id put a few up! (kinda like the stickers)

Yeah, I'd like to ask if I can put up some posters, if I had them. Even if only smart people looked at them, I don't mind. We should want smart people to use Linux!
