Team Report
In Brisbane we celebrated Software Freedom Day on both Saturday & Sunday. On Saturday Elspeth, Steve and Chris went into the Queen Street Mall were they handed out Leaflets, and free software CDs. They reported that the day went well and people were interested in what they had to say.
On Sunday Chris and I went to the Sunday Computer Market at Ipswich, The markets run from 10 am to 1pm, prior to the markets opening we handed out SFD leaflets to about 20 people. Once the markets opened we found a steady stream of people were coming to our display to look at the systems running free software and get free software cds. In all on Sunday we distributed over 160 free software cds including Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora Core 5 and The OpenCD. We ended up running out of CDs and started burning CDs for people.
