Software Freedom Day - next Saturday!

[Robert Schumann]

Hi all,

It's come that time of the year again, and you're all invited to come spread
the word about software freedom in Cambridge next week, joining teams
from around
the world <http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml> who are
participating in Software Freedom Day. This is the fifth celebration of SFD,
since it started with a modest 20-odd team in 2004, and this year we're
heading for well over 500 teams registered.

Please let me (and the list) know if you are able to come down to Market
Square (outside the Guildhall) for a few hours on Saturday! No special
skills are required, and there will be a supply of coffee and other bits as
required.

In support of the event, we have so far procured (in addition to a permit to
hold the event):
 * a few tables from Simon Andrews
 * a stall/gazebo in case it rains from Simon
 * soda stream from Paul M
 * SuSE DVDs from Paul M
 * one or two Elonex webbooks courtesy of The Open Learning Centre
...and the official SFD supplies:
 * 100 or so Ubuntu CDs in professional-looking sleeves
 * 3 or 4 T-shirts (they are allegedly larger than last years!)
 * a bunch of SFD stickers
 * a handful of SFD balloons
 * some SFD badges
 * one or two OpenEducation Discs

T-shirts will be distributed to first comers on Saturday morning - we're
planning to be up and running at 09.00 and go until 13.00 or later if we
feel inspired.

We're still looking for volunteers to (a) get hold of (i.e. print) some
suitable leaflets to hand out, and (b) produce some Open Discs (we have none
at the moment). Please let us know if you're up to it!

Robert.
