> Software Freedom Day is on Saturday September 19th this year,
> and planning has started for our regular activities. These are:
>
> 1) On the day, running a stall at the Computer Markets
> (http://www.computermarkets.com/cm/) at the Old Bus Depot
> Markets (http://www.computermarkets.com/cm/index.php?view=venueevents&id=7:Old%20Bus%20Depot%20Building).
> * Set up computers running Linux and a variety of Free
> Open Source Software on whatever other operating systems people
> are prepared to bring.
> * Have videos running - e.g. Big Buck Bunny, Elephant's
> Dream, and others - made with FOSS.
> * Have flyers and CDs to give away.
> * Get a large banner made up to give the booth an air of
> quality.
> 2) On the following weekend (26th September), run an Install
> Fest. This gives people who are interested in learning
> more a chance to bring their computers along and have people
> help get started with FOSS.
> * Run an installing room with people helping install Linux
> and help people with FOSS.
> * Have people giving talks on a variety of FOSS programs -
> e.g. Inkscape, The Gimp, Firefox, OpenOffice, Wordpress, etc. -
> in a separate room.
> * Advertise this event at the SFD stall, and on radio, in
> newspapers, on flyers, and wherever else we can.
> * Invite public speakers to talk about the importance of
> FOSS and possibly get coverage of this in the media.

> Have fun,
