> Hi all!
> 
> 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.
> 
> Pia Waugh and I are doing the main organising and we'd love 
> people to volunteer to do stuff, or at least delegate stuff to 
> you.  Lana and Jeff, are you interested in handling the PR 
> side of things?  Preferably get back to us before the 10th 
> of August so we can work out where things are going from there.
> 
> Have fun,
