LUGOD at the 2002 Whole Earth Festival
LUGOD participated in the 2002
Whole Earth Festival
at UC Davis. The WEF
took place between May 10th and 12th, from 8am-6pm (12pm-6pm Friday).
We were there Friday afternoon from 12pm to 6pm, and Saturday from 10am
until we ran out of handouts at about 4pm.
Photos from Friday are online.
Why We Were There:
- To talk to people about Linux, and get the word out about LUGOD
- To hand out pamphlets containing information about LUGOD (our
"Welcome" hand-out), and Linux (the Free Software and
Open Source definitions, and links to useful sites)
- To hand out pamphlets which explain why not to use Microsoft
(viruses, bugs, privacy invasion, corporate strong arming, etc.)
- To hand out copies of Linux (DemoLinux
bootable CDROMs and Mandrake 8.1 discs)
