Do you know who is the fair organised by?

I have been running a display table at the Bracknell Computer Fair 
regularly for a year now and can certainly recommend the approach if 
you are keen on advocacy. I love it, and although it can be a bit 
tiring I am really grateful for the opportunities to display.

Yes    :-)

Incidentally I find that the 'Infopoint' branding is most useful to 
offer as a concept to the organisers. It is clearly a not for profit 
project and is clearly also aiming to offer information. It does not 
have any trading objectives. This can be significant because we are 
also not a registered charity so we operate in an area of voluntary 
and informal activities. Getting this understood can be useful in 
negotiating a presence. But perhaps you already know this - apols if so.

Are you also aware that Software Freedom Day is later this year? (15 
September 2007)
