Linux People/Advocacy Projects....

[Colin McGregor]

Well, let me note where things stand with advocacy
projects...

I've been a bit slow on talking about the Linux World
Canada show (which is to be part of the IT360 show
this year at the Metro Convention Centre). Current
writing project is an item on RHEL5 (not yet released
to the general public). Any event, we have a deal with
the IT360 people, which means we will have a booth at
the show. I will be announcing a planning meeting once
I get clear of this project... 

Basically I would like a variation on what happened
last year (which over all worked out quite well). In
other words tweaks to formula that is working. Some
changes that may be coming down the pipe will be to
have our booth next to some other Linux advocacy
groups (CLUE? Linux International? etc.). 

I would also be happy to help start a ball rolling re:
Software Freedom day in September. Let's start by
asking questions like "What do we as a group want to
achieve from Software Freedom day?". Do we want to say
be encouraging the use of free software on any/all
platforms (to the point of say handing out CDs with
say Firefox for Windows)?.
