[Blackpool] Software Freedom Day

[Tony Hughes]

Hi Les

The open disc project is for those still using windows environments as 
all the software it promotes is available in most Linux disro's or can 
be installed if needed.

It is a great way to show people that there are alternatives to MS 
Office and Windows Media Player, etc. There is also a version of the 
disc for secondary and collage students, with software that is useful in 
an education environment.

I'm sure that there will be a stall on the day run by others, but I 
think we will be busy and it would be quite an undertaking to try and 
run two info stalls at one event however good a cause it is.
