Ubuntu Pennsylvania Local Community Team

Jim Fisher (The Awesome!) received confirmation that we’ll be the stars of this upcoming Software Freedom Day at the Philadelphia Area Computer Society on September 19th from 8:30AM to 3:15PM. PACS meetings are held in the  Community Center at the Super Giant Food Store in Willow Grove PA 315 York Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090.

So far we have a presenter lined up who will give a talk about MythTV. We’re also looking to duplicate what we’ve done in the past with tables doing demos and such, but we need more ideas!

What will dazzle these primarily Windows and Mac users? Jim will be bringing along some of his older laptops to show how Linux can bring old hardware back to life, and has suggested we put together some information and have our experts available to discuss how free software works (who writes it? who packages it? who fixes it?).

We have a wiki page where you can add your ideas too,  and sign up for attending and volunteering with us that day:
