13 people showed up to the Christmas get-together at Allégården in
Göteborg. It was more of a social event than a meeting, and only a few
of the people present were actual Fellows. Jonas Öberg had prepared food
and warm drinks.
Jonas and I informed a bit about Föreningen fri kultur och programvara,
how it relates to FSFE and Creative Commons, and the center for digital
freedom that we plan to start together with an organic café.
Jeremiah Foster told about his idea for making free software powered
computers available in the suburbian parts of the city, and I mentioned
the Fri-IT project in Malmö that we plan to expand to Göteborg. The idea
is to collect used computers, fix them up, install free operating
systems on them, give them to anyone who needs a computer and following
up with offering free courses in using free software. We decided to join
our efforts.
We had a discussion about the FSCONS-book that is scheduled for
publishing early next year and several suggestions on how to best
publish it was put forward.
Some people with little prior GNU/Linux experience came with their
laptops and were assisted with installation and configuration of free
operating systems.
all the best,
