Southern California.
by byte69 March 5, 2007

March 5, 2007

I would like to form a team in the Inland Empire (Western Riverside and San Bernardino counties). I also have registered a domain for coordination of resources and presentations in the Southern California area. It is http://www.socalopensource.org-a.googlepages.com it is being hosted off of Google Pages right now (Free). I would like to work with like minded people in the area. I want this to be an all year round thing to inform people, officials, and others about the capabilities and freedom that FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) provides. I am an Ubuntu LoCal team member in Southern California. I am not Ubuntu centric and have experience in FreeBSD, Fedora, Mandrake, and Ubutnu. So I do have knowledge of the depth and breadth of Open Source. I would like to have a install party on Software Freedom Day 2007. Contact me at jgrayson(a)socalopensource.org . Or this email address. Jeff Grayson

[Planning-en] Montrose PA USA Software Freedom Day 2006 Quick Report
by William Davies Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

Two items that stand out in my mind are: 1. I expected visitors to pick up literature and a CD, take a quick look at the demos and then leave. Surprisingly almost everyone stayed until the announced quitting time, asking questions and wanting to know more about Open Source Software. 2. There was not much interest in starting a Linux User Group but there was considerable interest in starting an Open Source Software discussion group to meet regularly to discuss Open Source. We did start a mailing list and the team leaders are discussing follow-up events. http://www.gbztechnology.com/sfd2006/ http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/america/USA/Montrose William Davies

[Planning-en] SFD 2006: Feedback please!
by Matt Oquist Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

(I apologize for the cross-posting, but everyone is welcome to submit feedback, not just team leaders.) The feedback form: http://softwarefreedomday.org/feedback Now that 16 September has passed and we've all had a few days to recover, it's time to start looking forward to SFD 2007, and the best way to start that is by looking back at SFD 2006 and learning from this experience. We want to know what works and what doesn't work, and how we can all improve. There are some obvious things SFI intends to change; we need to smooth out the registrations and supplies shipping process. But we need to hear your great ideas in order to make SFD 2007 the biggest, best SFD ever! Please go to http://softwarefreedomday.org/feedback at your earliest convenience and take a couple minutes to let us know about your SFD 2006 experience.
