Howdy all, Well I must say we had an excellent Software Freedom Day. Our day was spent at one of our local shoppings malls with a display that I had been organising during the week. It basically consisted of 4 computers setup with Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Damn Small Linux, a projector hooked up to the Ubuntu machine running the Blender Siggraph Demoreels and the occasional other video we had. There was also a noticeboard that had various information leaflets for people to read. We had a little bit of press help promoting the event earlier in the week. One of our local free newspapers, the Dubbo Photo News, published a small article on Thursday. Our local prominent AM radio station, 2DU, did and interview with myself earlier in the week which had some good results as a number of people mentioned hearing it. The Dubbo Photo News photographer visited us on Saturday to take a heap of photos and get some information and they will be running it as a major article in next weeks paper. The day started with about 200 Ubuntu CDs, and I also had a heap of blank CDs which I was using to burn copies of the Open Source Free CD for people. I think we gave away around half the Ubuntu CDs and about 20 odd OSFCDs. There was lots of passing interest in our display and there were a large number of computer professionals that were very interested, a few system admins, an IT teacher/admin from a local high school, and others. Over the entire day there was not one negative comment regarding open source or Linux, everyone was most positive and there were certainly lots of average people quite interested as well. Our club (Dubbo and District Computer Club) got a good lot of promotion and we are expecting to get a few new faces at our next meeting which we have lined up as a workshop to do a bit of a Linux installfest and to teach the basics of the Linux CLI. I shall be putting together a page of photos at some stage tonight. I hope everyone else had a day as successful as ours was. Cheers, Andrew Swinn Dubbo Team
