[Nottingham] What we doing? [Fwd: Re: Software Freedom Day]

[Martin]

Folks,

What are we doing?
Or what can we do in view of our non-awareness efforts for this year?

Any interest?

Action required now if we're going to get a mention in the Linux mags.
Who is willing to commit to turning up to do something?

Cheers,
Martin
