[H-GEN] Software Freedom Day (new thread)

[Sandra Mansell]

Pasted from the Wiki:

"The current plan is to have a stall at an open air market in Brisbane 
on SFD. We are organising a large SFD sign, a HUMBUG 
(http://www.humbug.org.au) sign and pamphlets which will explain what 
OSS is all about. We are looking at having CDs to give away (Ubuntu, 
Knoppix, others) and we are going to make sure that non-Linux OSS gets 
some airtime. CDs containing OSS for MS-Windows may be given away.

We think several laptops wil be brought along for the day, with one 
running at a time. As each one runs out of power (they'll be on battery) 
we'll start the next.

Active discussion on Brisbane's SFD events are taking place on the 
Humbug-General list. "

So, do we need help burning/stomping CDs? Do we have pre-burned/stomped 
CDs to give away? Do we need to print out and/or put up posters? I have 
uni work and stuff to do, but I'm willing to do a bit of legwork to get 
me and the little one(s) out of the house. (For those not following my 
blog, we're expecting baby #2 in April, so I need to keep myself active.)

As far as I'm aware I'm working that day (haven't checked the roster but 
I normally work Saturdays) so I don't think I'll be able to come along 
in person and help (unless you need assistance from 6-6:30AM). However 
once something has been finalised I can advertise things in various 
places. Shopping centre notice boards are great places to start, as are 
computer stores.

Has anyone contacted Extra/ACA/TT? If we're going ahead with stuff 
somebody in 'authority' will need to get their face on the tv :-)

Should we move discussion to a brainstorming session on irc instead? 
Just a thought as it might be faster and we could try and make a time 
that several interested people could make it. A log could be put up for 
people to look at and add ideas.

Just some thoughts while I'm supposed to be studying :-)

Sandra.
