<div class="moz-cite-prefix">On Wednesday I got a box of Ubuntu CDs
from Darcy for redistribution at SFD. So that's taken care of.<br>
<br>
Do we have publicly available contact information for SFD? I see
Kitchener has a page on the SFD site at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2012/Canada/Kitchener">http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2012/Canada/Kitchener</a> but it
doesn't seem to link to anything. The page at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://theworkingcentre.org/sfd">http://theworkingcentre.org/sfd</a> still redirects to the 2011 SFD
report... Can we get something on the KWLUG site too? Yes, I'll
volunteer to do this, but someone has to feed me details (times,
speakers, agendas, software, swag) and grant me access to the SFD
site. I've already got a login on the KWLUG site.<br>
<br>
I've put SFD on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://watcamp.com/">http://watcamp.com/</a> and arbitrarily set the time
from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Let me know if that's not correct.<br>

In case you missed it also, I am willing to help out too.

I am planning a presentation on making your own freedom by writing
your own software.

This is the second (and possibly final) call-out for assistance.
We
<br>
have gotten one offer of help so far, but I do not think that is
<br>
enough to pull this together.
<br>
<br>
Let me know by Sunday, please. We will be making a decision
Monday
<br>
afternoon, I think. You won't have to devote your life to this,
but a
<br>
few more hands would make for lighter work. If it matters, in
our best
<br>
year we got about 75 people coming to the event. (I think our
<br>
next-best year was something like 45 people.)

So Software Freedom Day is Sept 15 this year (which again
conflicts
<br>
with the Royal Medieval Faire, thanks for asking). We have had
<br>
Software Freedom Day events for the past few years in
<br>
Kitchener-Waterloo, either hosted at The Working Centre or at
<br>
Kwartzlab.
<br>
<br>
I don't think that Working Centre has the capacity to shoulder
<br>
all of the organizing this year. We might be able to host, but
it
<br>
takes a fair amount of additional work: - doing publicity
<br>
- organizing and scheduling talks
<br>
- preparing swag like CDs/DVDs
<br>
<br>
So how can we make this happen?
<br>
<br>
0. We could get a group of organizers together now, who will
commit
<br>
some time to making this event happen.
<br>
<br>
1. If it helped, we might think about changing the Saturday to
a week
<br>
earlier or later. This is no doubt Forbidden, but if it helped
us
<br>
organize something then it might be worth the heresy. Would
you be able and willing to help? If so, respond to me
personally
<br>
or build up some excitement by responding to the list. I think
a group
<br>
of 4-5 dedicated organizers could make the day a real success.
