[activities] Software Freedom Day, Sat 15 September - Computer Fair booked!

[Sridhar Dhanapalan <sridhar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had some communication mishaps, causing delays, but we are now booked to be 
present at a computer fair on the weekend of Software Freedom Day!

The question remains, which day would be better? I've been informed that the 
Parramatta event (Saturday, on SFD) will be somewhat smaller than the UNSW 
one (Sunday, the day after). Is it worth delaying the Sydney SFD festivities 
by a day in order to reach a larger crowd?

Other benefits of UNSW include a more central location and the presence of 
students (who might be more amiable towards FOSS). If we run any side events, 
they can take place in one of the uni rooms instead of at an entirely 
different venue.

The Computer Fairs people seem quite enthusiastic to have our patronage. After 
all, geeks love to buy computer gear :) . If it goes well, we could turn this 
into a regular occurrence. We would not be the first users group to be 
creating such a partnership with a computer fair.
