Help Wanted
Help Wanted
Hey folks, I’d like to take a quick moment to humbly ask for your help with something. I forget who said it orginally but as the great quote goes “ask not what your podcast can do for you, but what you can do for your podcast”. Ok so maybe I added the podcast bit, that wasn’t in the original quote but you get the point. A lot of people ask us how they can help with the podcast and there are many things you can do but I think I’ve come up with an idea which could offer people a cheap and easy way to help us. It doesn’t have to cost any more than a few minutes of your time and a bit of black printer ink… ok maybe some Bluetack or drawing pins too but that’s it honest!
The idea involves 4 simple steps:
- Head to linuxoutlaws.com/wanted and download the PDF of our Wanted poster
- Print it out
- Stick it up somewhere: school, college, workplace or community centre. Anywhere you think interested people might see it
- Lastly the most important step. Sit back and feel good that you helped us to spread the word
You can of course repeat these steps as many times as you like but we’re not expecting people to print 100 each and go fly posting them. You can if you want but just one is enough to make a difference. If everyone does one poster it could help us to promote the show massively.
Thanks everyone, you’re the best! Fab & I appreciate the kindness, generosity and good humour of all our listeners. You make doing the show a pleasure for us

@Mark – Hmm that’s a great question, there’s a collection of stuff on http://linuxoutlaws.com/goodies like artwork and even the theme music which everyone is free to use. It’s all Creative Commons. I don’t think there’s any web banners as such, it’s a great idea though, thanks!

[...] mentioned our new poster campaign and also wrote a quick post on the Outlaws blog. It basically involves downloading the PDF, printing one off and sticking it up somewhere for us. [...]
