software and released free online for everyone in the spirit of that
freedom.

Software, Virtualisation technologies & Servers using Free Software, Open
Source Communications and how communities can benefit. Free and Open Source
Gaming, Open Source Security and it's community, there will be something to
interest all, whether you are a developer , a user, confused or just plain

applications of free and open source software on display during the event.


 There will be a light yet free lunch served before the screening of the
films, the event is free for everyone and open between 10am and 4pm on
Saturday the 20th September. Feel free to attend the whole or event or just
