Buzzing a bit about our event today - 30-odd people turned up at the Oxford House Settlement, the atmosphere was relaxed and enthusiastic. Lots of interest in Ubuntu - Ubuntu CDs flew off the table and we gave everyone USB sticks loaded with FOSS, including Wubi.
We gave people Ubuntu laptops to play with and a tour of the Desktop - squeezed one installation in between workshops - lots of people said they'll be bringing laptops etc to the free drop-in on Friday 4th for help to install Ubuntu at leisure. Feedback has been really positive. The charities found it useful and a real eye-opener. A couple of other London City Fringe borough CVSs are interested in us doing similar events for them. Getting the serious support of CVSs will help a lot to build faith in Ubuntu in the VCS and I feel like we're really starting to get somewhere. Big thanks to everyone who did workhops and helped out, it's been a thoroughly successful day and you all made it feel like breeze. See most of you again on the 4th, Paula
