OK - I think we have the beginnings of a project here!

I've already got a small group together off-list (the fools!) who are
having their arms gently twisted to bring along a system to Linux Expo
to demonstrate a "small business desktop" with the latest Linux desktop
and Openoffice.

How about we have a demo system alongside with an accessible Linux
system?

I need volunteers here -
John - help and expertise. Maybe contacts with the Expo organisers, and
some space?

Dave - knowing you will be busy at the show... ???

Other volunteers - to man a display on a rota basis

Contact me off-list please


If there is enough interest I will try to make contacts with
Julie Howell at RNIB.
