Hi Xolani,

<quote who="xolani Ndlovu">

...

hie everyone my name is xolani i am in Bulawayo i have been following the opensource movement for the past three years heavily reading open source literature so i teamed up with a friend to start an open source movement in Bulawayo (OPEN SOURCE Bulawayo) its dead in Bulawayo so anyone who can help us please do we are still at school so resources are problem please help

It is great to here you are excited about FLOSS! To start a new community I highly recommend using Software Freedom Day as a launch event o get people interested and get the group going. Plan with your friend to run some sort of public event, perhaps at a University or school, and try to get lots of young people to come along. Make sure you register as a team so we can send you some tshirts, CDs and other goodies to help make your event look fantastic!

For more ideas on running an event, check out the Start Guide at: http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide

And for more ideas about starting a new community, check out: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Linux_PR/newlug.html http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/User-Group-HOWTO.html

Hope that helps, good luck in spreading software freedom to Bulawayo!

Cheers, Pia
