Here is the proposed FOSS/Linux resolution for the Ward 2&3 NPA meeting Thursday evening. Let me know if there is anything that I missed or if you want to recommend any changes. Also if there are any VAGUE members in the area tomorrow evening, I urge you to come and vote for this resolution. The NPA meeting starts at 7 PM and there is a free dinner at 6 PM. The location is the Multigenerational/Senior center on North Winooski Avenue in Burlington. I'm going to do a quick demo of Puppy Linux before the vote.
