Software Freedom Day events in Nashua, 15-Sept-2007

[Ted Roche]

Several GNHLUG members and volunteers attended Software Freedom Day
festivities in Nashua. Due to inclement weather, the Python pickup was
left out in the rain with signs pointing towards the GetInk4U store
where owner Bill had very generously made space for us.

Bill Sconce had done a knockout job as usual, in preparing some very
sharp handouts, OpenCD disks (you've gotta check out the CDs Bill
printed using InkScape: sharp, clear and a great layout!) and Ubuntu
disks. Janet did a marvelous job supplying some awesome cookies. Jim
Kuzdrall, Rosanne and Ben Scott and I were there for moral support,
helping to set up signs, pass out goodies, eat the cookies and schmooze
with attendees.

Several folks showed up, again thanks to GotInk4U's owner Bill having
sent out an email to his 17k+ customers that SFD was happening at his
store. We noted that everyone who came by for disks also picked up some
ink or cables or other merchandise (as did several of the SFD
volunteers!) . One fellow had gotten an email from a former neighbor,
now in Arizona, who sent him to the store to pick up an OpenCD.
