The library display was still up when I went to see it last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/floydwilde/4992168101/ One of the reasons we decided to hold the event at centreplace this year, is because last year we realized we are not very good at publicity. The idea is there will already be people at the mall, we will just talk to them. Best, John On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 4:17 PM, Bruce Kingsbury <zcat(a)zcat.geek.nz> wrote:

Now that it's 2 days left to Software Freedom Day 2010, are there any flyer from the user group to provide so that I could inform my friends of SFD? (Am I wrong or there just isn't any advertisement regarding SFD in Hamilton city or even in the university? Even I am not quite sure what exactly will be happening through that day...)

Regards, Sam

We haven't done any flyers at all, just a library display (did anyone want to check that it's still up? It got taken down within a half hour of being put up, twice on the same day last year, due to a misunderstanding between library staff)

The plan is that we set up tables in Centerplace and talk to people about Free software, and hand out disks. We skipped the advertising this year because our expensive newspaper advertising last year was very dissapointing and highly ineffective, most of the people who turned up had not even seen the newspaper advert and I think only two people turned up because of it.

Planning for this is online at http://wlug.org.nz/sfd and also there's a mention online via http://softwarefreedomday.org.nz/hamilton and http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/s/wlug
