[LUG] Possible Penguin Promotion

 

Hi folks,

A thought has just struck me after my visit to Living Coasts today.  Now 
a big part of Living Coasts is the Penguins (and they're so adoreable, I 
wanted to smuggle one home with me).  Now the open day was fairly well 
publicised on Facebook and when I left about 11am the place was getting 
packed, no doubt it was packed all day (there were over 200 people who 
said they were attending).  I was thinking, maybe we could do some 
special promotion with Living Coasts, if they could distubute copies of 
The Open Disc either for free or sell them in the gift shop for say a 
quid a disc (with us supplying the discs and just charging to cover the 
costs and with the profits going to Living Coasts) then we could also 
put some free advertising on the disc for them too (so if it is 
distributed in other places people will get to find out about Living 
Coasts).

Not only could this possibly work with Living Coasts, but it may even be 
an idea for Newquay Zoo and Paradise Park too (I remember last year when 
I went to Paradise Park they said they were trying to raise money to 
build a new Penguin enclosure).

When you think about it, there is all this 'Tux the Penguin' related 
software like Tuxpaint, TuxMath, Tux Typing, Super Tux etc which are 
both a good advertisement for Free Software (and cross platform too) and 
they're also Penguin related so would fit in really well with Living 
Coast, Newquay Zoo and Paradise Park.
