Last weekend was Ubuntu-ie first major event. We held Software Freedom Day here in Dublin at the Digital Exchange. At great turn out was had. A lot of familar faces showed up and also a lot of new people came who had read the article in the paper who came along full of enthuasim and an abundance of questions.
The theory behind the day was to inform people, not to make it too technical and all for people to come along ask questions and come away from the day with some food for thought.
We had vaying topics, from how people us OS in their work place, copyright and Open street mapping. There was demo’s and installs going on so people could come along and ask questions and if they had problems with their installs they could get some help if they needed.
It was also an opportunity for Camara to get the word out on what they do. We brought people down to their offices so they could see the work they do, where they normally wouldn’t get a chance to do so.
I’d like to thank all those who came and helped out on the day. Elevate learning who were so much help. It was a great day, followed onto the Longstone for the evening. I’ve added some photos of the event here. It was a great day, would I do it again, possibly, would I do things differently……….Hell yes, follow up post to follow :p
