hello all, i am interested in getting a free software advocacy group going in southern illinois. our focus would be twofold: first, we would provide teach-ins about various free software issues (SOPA, secure/restricted boot, how to install free operating systems and use a package manager) at our local independent media center which is currently hosting and managed primarily by folks involved with our local Occupy movement (known as Occupy Carbondale); second, we would provide a point-of-interaction between students at our local univeristy (southern illinois university carbondale) and software hobbyists/professionals in the community by offering code-in events and promoting involvement with larger groups like freeculture.org.
i am contacting this list to seek information and guidance in developing this group from folks with experience. specifically, does the above description sound like it would be a good candidate for a LibrePlanet team? if not, is anyone aware of an existing organizational model that i might use or are there any helpful words of advice? thanks for your time, wayne
