[Gloucs] Sat 20 Sept - Software Freedom Day

Are we already planning to do anything for this?

If not, who else would be interested in burning a load of Ubuntu and 
Fedora CDs, writing a 1-sheet-of-A4 quick-start guide (one side: how to 
boot the Ubuntu/Fedora live CD; other side: why free software matters 
plus contact/meeting details for GLUG) and handing them out for free on 
Cheltenham High Street?

Obviously it doesn't just have to be Ubuntu and Fedora. I'm happy to 
hand out ANY distro so long as a novice quick-start can fit onto one 
side of A4, and ideally the distro includes a web browser and word 
processor by default. People should be encouraged to try different distros.

A mate of mine is a Cheltenham borough councillor, so I can easily find 
out if we need any permits. We're not traders, and we're not asking for 
money, so I doubt we'd need anything, but I will check. I expect the 
only thing we'd need to do, would be to promise to pick up any discarded 
CDs/leaflets at the end of the day.
