Seconded - we're helping in the Autumn with a couple of events aimed at
introducing business and social enterprise users to Free Software, in
North Wales.

Normally we're at voluntary sector events, where we find a very non-
technical audience, but one unafraid to talk about ethical choices, and
community values :-)

btw on the subject of alternatives to computer fairs to reach home
computer users, my nearest town has an annual event during which 
most local community organisations have stands passing out information
about their activities, and looking for more involvement. My local,
geographically-disparate LUG might not be the best for this sort of
Fayre - but it could be the sort of event that's ideal for other
Infopoint members.

Cheers,

 - Richard
