I'm still deciding on Freeduc CD's, I wasn't planning anything else, but
if people want to organise something, swap free software, fine by me.

Not that I know of, although they sound like the converted.

Dropped an e-mail today to Devon CC, asking for some publicity, they
will distribute it to some schools if the Education IT bod is happy, I
can't see why he shouldn't be.

I think word of mouth is best publicity, reminds me of a few more people
to invite.

Anyone know any relevant contacts at St Luke's college? WOuld have
thought it might be of interest.

I'm having a self confidence crisis, and so writing this from my Freeduc
booted laptop over an encrypted wireless connection, sharing my mail
program from my usual PC, whilst critically apraising a web server app
running locally on the laptop on the included webserver, wondering if I
should try using the Knoppix terminal server so I can - I've done it,
whilst trying (and failing) to raise a conversation in #ofset at
irc.freenode.net. All on software for which the source code is available
for inspection and modification, and brought for nothing or minimal cost.

Then again what am I worrying about ;-)
