Good idea. Could be done in any country, cheap. The concept: Take the mountain to Mohamed. A group of presentable Linux Guru's (not always the same people) travel around and push Linux/FOSS.

The team will: Give talks about Linux, Free Software and Open Source Install Fest Present videos and materials about Linux/FOSS Hand out free CD's and have material for sale (books?)

Where? The usual suspects of course Universities Tech schools Non-profits Business and industry Government offices

Seems like a well planned road-show. They send out advance materials for promoting the gig and bring swag to lure the unwashed and disenfranchised. The Colonel dusts off his passport while looking for that old backpack.
