We still believe that contact with 'normal people' is extremely important, so we will do our event on a Cultural Center and will spread the event along with other Cultural Centers in Barcelona.

We still believe that contact with 'normal people' is extremely important, so we did our event on one of the most crowded streets in Barcelona instead of closing ourselves on a facility and give lectures.

We realised that people knew about free software, unlike other years when we had a lot of information work. This year we were able to evangelise and we are planning some sort of demonstration/install-party/help desk for next year, as the people's knowledge seems to be high enough.
As usual, we had a good time, got some interesting free software discussions with the community and we are looking forward for next year, on September 20th, 2008.

The event was a big success, with 16 entousiastic volonteers who worked from 10 to 20 h in the very center of the city. We managed to attend nearly 1000 people. The event was anounced in some major internet resources and diaries. Some photos [1] (
