Re: [edlug] Advocacy
I am very much into free software advocacy, so I am interested in
following any efforts in Edinburgh.
Name could be FLOSSE
Free/Libre Open Source Software Edinburgh
Which does not exclude people who are more into one of two movements:
Free Software or Open Source which while do similar things emphasis
different aspects.
Maybe we should build to do some outreach on Software Freedom Day:
http://www.SoftwareFreedomDay.org
though there are opputunities before.
I am pleased SuSE have made there installer/ config/ package management
tool: YAST free software

I used to be wary of reccommending SuSE so not to move people from
proprietary lockin to another abet not so all consuming. But now I can
and SuSE is a good looking ditro.
cheers
