Ubuntu Pennsylvania Local Community Team

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Software Freedom Day with the Philadelphia Area Computer Society in Willow Grove!

Early in the day we set up systems in the lobby for people coming in to check out. At noon the main presentation of the day was given by David Harding, on MythTV. Following the presentation we set up a table in the back of the main presentation room and gave out Ubuntu and Open Disc CDs, fliers about our team and info about some upcoming events.

There were lots more photos of the event, Elizabeth Krumbach posted some here and a blog entry here and more photos from Andrew Keyes are located here.

We have now raised the money needed for our table at CPOSC!

Big thanks to the following who have helped us reach this goal:

• Bret Fledderjohn
• Luke Brooks
• Jim Fisher – Pechter’s of Southern NJ
• Elizabeth Krumbach
• Mike Ezell – Renewable Technology

Bret has organized all of this and we’re now listed on the CPOSC sponsors page.
