[H-GEN] Software Freedom Day - Sept 10th

[Pia Waugh]

Hi all,

Make sure you check out the info that the softare freedom people have
already put together. There is a pretty good "booklet" at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FLOSS_Concept_Booklet and other stuff at
http://maitri.ubuntu.com/softwarefreedomday/wiki/index.php/Materials

I'd also suggest you have a single page about HUMBUG and how they can join.
In my own mind I hope that software freedom day becomes a bit of a yearly
recruitment drive for new blood for the LUGs, so I reckon us it as such ;)

I'm also getting some of the sfd cd's and will ship some up along with some
stickers and other foo. I suggest you could get some of the US$11 tshirts
from the software freedom day shop http://www.cafepress.com/sfdstore and
then use the Linux Austalia grants scheme to pay for some tshirts for the
team. Make sure you update what the Brisbane team is doing at
http://maitri.ubuntu.com/softwarefreedomday/wiki/index.php/Brisbane as there
will be a press release about this pointing people to the Aussie teams page
for more information :)

Cheers,
Pia
