There's actually quite an awareness of FOSS software at the SCM. I've
seen laptop displays running KDE/Gnome (don't remember as it's been
about 3-4 months since I was last there) and the Linux Library sells CDs
there for cheap.
However if we're giving stuff away, I do think it'd be a great place to
start. It's just a shame that the Linux Library might not make very many
sales that day.
Also, Sunday is my daughter's half-birthday party, so I could help setup
and nothing else. (The party is from 11-3 and it's in Springwood, quite
a distance from Lawnton.) At this stage I'm still OK for Saturday. (I
want the week off from work anyway so if I'm pre-booked I won't have to
fib if they try to call me in ;-))
Sandra.
