-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thought I'd pass along that the Fredericksburg Linux Users Group (FredLUG) had a very productive day promoting FOSS. We had two tables in the 600 block of Caroline Street in old town Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA from 0900 to about 1545 (UTC−04). We talked with numerous people who'd never heard of Linux, provided them a comparison chart of proprietary applications and their FOSS counterparts, passed out OpenDisc DVDs with a list of several of the apps on it, as well as Fedora and Ubuntu live DVDs. There was a Linux laptop running a looped OpenOffice.org presentation telling of the advantages of FOSS, and a Mac PowerBook G4 running Yellow Dog Linux playing Creative Commons music in Rhythm Box; one visitor asked to turn up the volume so he could hear the music better. Several people said they'd stop by our follow-up InstallFest next Saturday, September 25th, to get Linux installed on their computers. It was a festive event and our whole group had a great time knowing this was taking place all over the world. A great day all around. Best to all, from Fredericksburg, Mark - -- Mark Caldwell Walker Contact info at marwalk.tel GnuPG public key AA482E46 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyVQBQACgkQfCKHDapILkbPqgCgq5hKtVEncjnhXq7rk0WKvcDA OCcAoNWgxCWu8Fix8bdz5d6bPLR2Izto =4vOO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
