<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 31st March is the Chorlton Green Festival, and it would be great if we<br>
could have a Free Software stall there.<br>
<br>
Anna Morris has organised a booth for us to use. Anna won&#39;t be at the festival<br>
- she&#39;ll be at the Leicester Green Light festival, which is on the same day.<br>
<br>
Booths at the Chorlton Green Festival are hard to get. The reason that we have<br>
been able to get one allocated to Free Software this year is due to a planned<br>
link between the two festivals, between the two Free Software booths. This is<br>
a simple plan to connect visitors to each festival with each other using Free<br>
Software.<br>
<br>
Paula Graham, of London-based Free Software FossBox, will be giving a talk in<br>
Leicester about Free Software and her company. She and Anna will encourage<br>
visitors to post pictures and identica messages to visitors to be shared with<br>
visitors at the Chorlton festival. The idea is to connect two green movements<br>
together via Free Software, in order to raise awareness of both the festivals<br>
and also the software.<br>
<br>
Therefore we need some people to run the booth in Chorlton, which will<br>
probably have a projector to display messages and pictures from festival<br>
visitors, and otherwise be like the Free Software booth that we had there last<br>
year, except that this time we&#39;ll have a full booth, and not have to share<br>
with anyone else.<br>
<br>
Who can come to help run the booth at the Chorlton Green Festival? Last year I<br>
felt that it went well and resulted in many socially conscious people being<br>
introduced to digital freedom. Let&#39;s make the most of this opportunity.<br>
<br>
The 31st is my birthday, so I would rather not be the key organiser. However I<br>
will come and help out with the booth like everyone else, and help with<br>
planning beforehand.<br>
<br>
Although the festival is in March, it would be really good to have confirmed<br>
who will be at the booth in advance, to make sure that it will run, and run<br>
smoothly.<br>
<br>
I see no need for the Chorlton booth to be strictly an Manchester Free<br>
Software booth or an FSFE booth - I suggest that we just make it a Free<br>
Software booth with whatever promotional material people care to bring.<br>
However, if this is an issue then I&#39;m happy to discuss it.<br>
<br>
So, who&#39;s up for it?<br>
