GNU/Linux Users does Free Software advocacy for the Canterbury/ /LUG.
Tonight's workshop format is the same as last month: Linux Beginners Q&A + installs. So if you want some tips on your setup, or help to get Linux running, just let us know if you're bringing a computer along. All contributors welcome.
Details: 7.30pm 4/8/5, Sydenham Community Association Hall, 25 Hutcheson Street, Christchurch.
There will be flyers for people to take away for friends, shop windows, libraries, noticeboards, etc to promote Software Freedom Day <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org> arriving on 10 Sept. We wish to make a master list of sites to cover the wider city area. The flyer is viewable here: http://www.infohelp.co.nz/docs/SFDFlyer6.pdf - feel free to print & circulate.
SFI are sending us extra CDs and materials, because they like the look of our preparation so far. Wellington is organised this year, and there may be activity in Auckland too; interest is really growing worldwide. So if you're wanting to see a higher profile for FOSS locally, and more users involved with GNU and Linux, your help is most appreciated.
