Hi Rob, I am so glad to learn that there will a SFD event in the UK and hopefully one that I can attend considering that I am in the country. Last year I was the team manager for the SFD 2006 with a woman's organisation called Linux Chix Zimbabwe. If you remember we won the 1st prize world wide. I would like to help with you in organising your event because of my previous experience. Send me an email and give more detail on what you plan the event to be like.

Anyway, I'd like to announce a SFD event in Devon. Actually we're looking at running two events, one in the Exeter area of Devon (East Devon) and the other in Plymouth (West area of Devon). We are hoping to hold these events at the respective Universities in Plymouth and Exeter (although this is yet to be confirmed), otherwise we're looking at booking a hotel conference room for the day. This is the first SFD event I have been involved with. I was a bit late last year to get involved although I did run an install day with the proceeds going to charity which was fairly successful considering the short notice I had to set it up. At the event we are holding we're hoping to provide facilities for members of the public to come along and have a play with some Free Software, and if they bring their computers along to have the software installed. I was wondering if it was okay to maybe charge a small fee for installing things such as Linux on their computers with the profits all going to local charities? Anyway, if there is anyone in the Devon area who would like to help, feel free to drop me an e-mail on/off list, or you can find me on the Devon & Cornwall LUG list at http://www.dclug.org.uk Ta, Rob _______________________________________________ SFD-discuss mailing list SFD-discuss@sf-day.org http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
