Saturday 20th September is Software Freedom Day. As many of you will know, this is a worldwide event designed to promote software freedom and Manchester Free Software (like many other groups across the country and the world) will be hosting an event to celebrate.
As a group we like to celebrate software freedom everyday, but on Saturday 20th September we will be getting together with a whole host of people to talk about and demonstrate free software. The event will take place at the Marbella Cafe on Newton Street from 11am to 4pm.
We will have a number of Internet connected PCs available, which will be used to demonstrate LTSP. The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) is designed to be used on low powered machines and so is brilliant for reusing old computers in schools or community projects.
Everyone is welcome and there will be plenty of people there who are learning about free software for the first time. We will be giving away CDs, leaflets and stickers. I’m also told that the cafe serves great food (veggie and vegan friendly).
