(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

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

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
