FWD: Software Freedom Day 2011

moin moin,

I have already told Ryan and HeatSyncLabs that PLUG and ABLEconf want to
work on Software Freedom Day 2011 with them :).

Who wants to volunteer? Anything specific we'd like to make happen?

I believe SFD should definitely be a big community outreach event.

ciao,

der.hans

Hey,

On this note, is anyone interested in helping me plan
http://softwarefreedomday.org at HeatSync? Basically installfest but with
less installing and more showing off how awesome free software and
neckbeards are. :-P I want to pull asulug, plug, etc in to the event.
I have a whole bunch of cool ideas, like FOSS music show (we have a guy that
does electronica on arguing, powerful mixing tools, etc), presentations, and
I'd like to invite ASU faculty and maybe city of mesa it to show up.... But
k need halp. <3?

Yes, yes it is.

Also, work with other groups. For example, encourage people to show up to
the PLUG meetings. We have a general meeting tomorrow ( Thursday ) night
at Mesa Community College. We also have a devel meeting the first Thursday
of the month. There are also security meetings, installfests and meetings
on the west side of town.

I also have the Free Software Stammtisch. Food, beer and talking about
Free Software. It's a great combo :).

Finally, if you do start weekly tutorials ( or pretty well any other event
), please make sure we know about it! I'd love posts to PLUG. The LoCo has
an IRC meeting every Sunday and is quite supportive of other Free Software
groups announcing their events.

We need to work together. There's no need for one big group to own
everything, but we need the regional/topical/whateverical groups in the
state to work together.

Oh, and we'd love to have you come do presentations at PLUG meetings :).

ciao,

der.hans
