The Apache Junction Public Library is holding a Family STEM Day on
Saturday, May 21, from 10am to 4pm. They are looking to include some
Free/Open Source Software representation as part of the Technology track
and we're hoping we could find some volunteers from PLUG.
A draft of the event flyer can be found at

We're looking for one or two volunteers to help introduce free software
concepts and philosophies to the public including:
- What is Free/Open Source Software
- What is Linux and how is it different from Windows or Mac (please stay
positive)
- F/OSS alternatives to popular closed source applications
- How the community works and where to find helpful resources
- Information regarding multi-boot scenarios
- Information regarding running on older or underpowered hardware
- Some installation assistance, a la a mini-Installfest
Not all of those points have to be touched on, and we can set up a booth or
a lecture, or even both, depending what's comfortable for you. Is anyone
interested in volunteering?
