Describe [CommitteeMeetingTopics.2008-10-13] here.


!!! Agenda


!!Discussion of Software Freedom Day
!Success:

*A manageable turnout
*USB stick draw worked well.
*Music applications/ setups are popular.
*Presentations format worked well.
*The posters and advertising had created manageable expectations.
*A public figure is a draw card (Nandoor Tanzcos)
*Experienced presenters held audience attention.
*The fliers and promotional materials were excellent.
*News paper recognition.
*EEE PC is popular.

!Things we learned
*A resources page/board for those interested in future information.
*The value of having someone welcoming people to the event.
*The value of having the internet available.
*Perhaps a notice board/ white board for any rescheduling issues.
*Perhaps some configuration work could have been done earlier
*Wireless AND wired access is useful to those wishing to hook up laptops. Number one trouble shooting with laptops is wireless issues so wired access is a prerequisite for troubleshooting some issues.
*Have a session demonstrating the OpenDisc (on a windows computer), highlighting the programs on it.

!Thing we could do better or ideas for discussion
*Maybe a local ubuntu respository for any install work to avoid hammering the internet connection. (might also save embarrassment when doing how to install)
*Windows machines demonstrating the true cross platform nature of many free software projects
*Demonstrating MythTV showing maturity of application.

!!Preparation for AGM
