Re: [activities] Software Freedom Day, Sat 15 September - what to do?

[Rodger & Janice Dean <rodger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds like a great idea and a venue where people who are interested in computers not just windows will be present. It's also close to Parramatta Station.  We need to make a decision soon as a flyer will need to be created so that we can let people now where we will. 

UNSW option is also good as well. What sort of traffic will we get there? 

I have been taking my laptop to work with and everyone is starting to ask about Linux.  So it would be good to have a flyer to get them thinking about it before the day, rather than at the last minute.
