[UbuntuWomen] FOSDEM / Book: Ubuntu Pocket Guide

[Fred H Olson]

The discussion about meeting at FOSDEM led me to look up FOSDEM.
For the convenience of others on the list (if there are any others
who are not familiar with FOSDEM :) I include a few lines here from
http://www.fosdem.org

 About FOSDEM

 The ninth FOSDEM is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote
 the widespread use of Free and Open Source software.

 Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM meetings
 are recognized as "The best Free Software and Open Source events in
 Europe".

This reminded me of another resource that I learned of recnetly to
"promote the widespread use of Free and Open Source software" -- Ubuntu
