[SWLUG] Fwd: Celebrate GNU's big "three-o" (fwd)

[Hugh Mayfield]

Hi all, I have re-subscribed to the list with my new email address.  Do 
check out SDF as below, it's super cool.  It's a public access NetBSD 
system that you can access through ssh.

Would there be any interest in holding a GNU 30th birthday bash in 
Cardiff?  I was thinking we could have a stall in the city centre with 
cake, GNU + Linux disks to take away, people to talk and evangelise about 
GNU, etc.

I realise this would involve substantial effort but I think it would be a 
cool thing to do.

As a side note, I'm thinking of burning off a series of Gnewsense GNU + 
Linux disks so I can carry them with me and hand them out to people I 
meet.  I thought I would write my phone number on them so people can call 
me for support.  (and I'll probably post to this list asking questions 
when I don't know the answers, lol!)

Best wishes and happy weekend

Hugh

30th anniversary celebration and hackathon in Cambridge

Have you registered <https://gnu.org/gnu30/celebration> for the big
anniversary bash on September 27 - 29 in Cambridge, MA yet?

GNU system founder Richard Stallman will be there, as will many of GNU's
early participants and the maintainers of GNU projects.

In addition to cake and special remarks from Richard Stallman, the
anniversary celebration will take the form of a hackathon. The hackathon
will focus on important needs for free software in today's Internet-based
world. Hackathon participants will include many GNU projects and other free
software projects that fit the theme. They include: coreboot, Gnash, GNOME,
GNU FM, GNU MediaGoblin, GNU social, Tahoe-LAFS, Tor, and others.
Satellite events

GNU supporters all over the world are planning their own celebrations, and
we've listed them all on the 30th anniversary page <https://gnu.org/gnu30/>.
Events are currently in the works in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cox's Bazaar,
Bangladesh; Kitchener, Canada; Prague, Czech Republic; Paris, France; and
Tokyo, Japan. Check back often for new additions. To host a satellite event
in your area, contact campaigns at fsf.org.

No matter who you are or where you live, we hope you'll find a way to

Happy Hacking,

Libby Reinish
