Some games In fact, I've put together a CD of something like this and would like some volunteers to test it out. > II.

(I like your suggestion) Make free and open source software as accessible as books in a public library. 2. Inform and educate the public library system about the mission and benefits of free and open source software. 3. Create a network of public library "adoptors" (via LUGs) to decentralize the distribution and costs of providing free and open source software to libraries. 4. Create a website/database to facilitate item 3. 5. Provide support via LUGs local to targeted public libraries. > III. Suggest a catchy 1 to 5 word phrase that kind > of frames our > intent..
