5 RodAldridge 1 For Software Freedom Day 2008 we'd like to have as many members (and non-members, we're not fussy) available as possible to help anyone out with whatever questions and problems they might arrive with. So, this page has been set up so that if you're willing to help you can add yourself to the list along with what areas you can help with and what your expertise is.

3 If you don't feel you qualify on those grounds, we're definitely still keen to see you - if the day's busy then you can help just by chatting with visitors, and if the day's quiet then we'll be putting the games to use.
