[CALUG] Software Freedom Day Presenters

[John Biggs]

If the average desktop user is our target we should remove some items from
the list.

Focus on:
The OS - Ubuntu
Web Browsing - Firefox
Email - Thunderbird
Office - OpenOffice.org

Then Maybe:
IM - Pigin
Finances - gnucash
Music - Amarok
Movies - vlc
Pictures - f-spot/gimp

Avoid things like inkscape, blender, etc
