I'd like to help, but the Royal Medieval Faire is in Waterloo Park the same day.<br><br>Hey! That's an idea. If you can find someone with a good, fake Olde Englishe accent, maybe you could do demos there. <br><br>
I suspect the target audiences may be a bit different, but I'd kinda like to see somebody in medieval garb extolling the virtues of free software.<br><br>Maybe you could drop off fliers at CupcakeCampKW (<a href="http://cupcakecampkw.ca/">http://cupcakecampkw.ca/</a> - also the same day) at the Children's Museum. There might be more crossover there: install free software, eat a cupcake. <br>

Not only is Software Freedom Day going ahead this September 19, but<br>
we (at The Working Centre) are planning to put in effort to make it a<br>
successful event.<br>
<br>
This is an official invitation for KWLUG members (and others) to<br>
help make the day a success. Here are some of the ways you can<br>
participate:<br>
<br>
- Help out with the installfest/troubleshootingfest in computer<br>
recycling<br>
- Give a 20 minute talk (we plan to have a number of these happening<br>
throughout the day).<br>
- Help with publicity and design<br>
- Invite your friends and family to come to the event<br>
- Help us prepare giveaways and goodies (CDs, etc.)<br>
<br>
Ideally we would get a target audience of a lot of people who may have<br>
heard of Linux but aren't that familiar with it. Pragmatically I think<br>
we are likely to get nerdier people.<br>
<br>
If you can help (even by being present) then give me a shout.<br>
<br>
- Paul<br>
