Hackfest

Come along and join in the all-day hackfest. We are planning an installfest, some demos and general hacking.

Installfest

An InstallFest is a chance for users new to Linux and open source software to bring their computers to have Linux installed on them at no charge by experienced users, as well as providing a supportive environment to ask questions, try out the software and get any technical problems resolved.

Open Source Barcamp

A barcamp is an open, participatory event or “unconference”, with content provided by all those attending. WLUG have organised VoIP telephony and WebCams (all Linux-based hardware) and plan to connect with other SFD events around the world, as far as timezones allow!
