We have found the creation, publication and organized distribution of our "Linux in Victoria" brochures to be a great means of raising public awareness. We have found warm reception from most of the locations we have asked for permission to place our brochures.

VLUG encourages other LUGs to undertake a brochure distribution effort in their own areas, and makes an offer to help get such projects started.

Feel free to copy the contents of our brochure, and produce versions appropriate for your own areas. If you are needing desktop publishing assistance, we might be able to help.

We have also built a web-based database system to help manage the initial contact and distribution efforts. This system can be made available to other LUGs for their use. (The links from this page are the public views.) Contact the Web Master for details on this.
