(27/7/2005, Bristol, England) FAVE is a new event for people who are 
interested in free and open source creative software on Linux and  other
computer platforms. It's taking place on Saturday August 20th  2005 at the
Trinity Community & Arts Centre in Bristol, UK. Everyone  is welcome, even
if they have never used this kind of software
before. Doors open at 10am and the event gets underway at 11am. Music 
will continue into the evening, and the whole event costs just £5 to  get
in.

This is no dry, dull conference! It will be an accessible festival of  fun
with performances, presentations and workshops. Topics will
include music production, recording and do-it-yourself film making.  There
will be sessions covering community media, streaming content  servers,
tangible interfaces, digital TV regulation and Creative
Commons licensing. Networking, internet access and media streaming  will
be provided by Bristol Wireless.
