Hi all, just a quick email about software freedom day (bcc's to random
people who may or may not be on the WLUG mailing list, sorry if you
got this twice)
Bryce is a little worried that at the moment we only have three or
four people involved in SFD who really grok Free/OSS software and have
a broad knowledge of what's available in various areas. So my first
request is that some of the less active members and past members who
are able to confidently talk to the public about Free and Open Source
software do come along on SFD and give us a hand. RSVP so I know who's
coming and don't have to stress about this.
Or if you wanted to be more involved in SFD planning, put your hand up
now! We've got less than two weeks to get everything sorted and could
really use some help.
I'm planning to follow up with PBTech about them lending us some nice
computers for the day to demo stuff on. Alternatively, would WAND
group be able to find some suitable demo machines? It might be easiest
if we make use of something that's already on campus. Alternatively,
we may end up relying on WLUG members to bring their personal
machines. I'd rather avoid that though.
Anything else that runs GNU/Linux or embedded Linux? Lindsay is
hopefully providing Linksys phones and webcams for the day, and
running an Asterisk PABX, hopefully we can link up with other groups
during their SFD events.
Also if you have a eeepc or similar linux-based 'nettop', bring it
along. They're cool and we should let lots of people see how cool they
are.
And of course, thanks you to those who are already helping. I really
hope it all comes together and we have a great SFD!
