THis is why i think any meetings where, where talks on topics (lets say
a talk on networking) are planned, a talk on free software should be
planned for too,
Ok sometimes you could get 10 people who were at the last meet and heard
it last time, in which case it could be skipped, otherwise its a good
way for new users get to hear the ideas and ideals of free software.
perhaps for ubuntu groups it would be a combo of this and what ubuntu
community stands for. etc
the more people that we can teach about free software, means more
people to help campaign for these issues to be solved by getting
companies to release as free software.
