* Distribute posters and brochures. (Martin, Paul, Robert, Hazel) You can pick up some colour printouts of the poster from Charles at Computer Recycling (66 Queen Street) now. Brochures will hopefully be available Monday night. We have 100 posters printed, so although we do not want to be frivolous we can distribute posters widely. * Once the Facebook event is up, send invitations to your friends and others who might be interested in attending. * Get the word out to organizations like schools, libraries, Communitech, etc. === Jobs to be done soon (over the next couple of weeks) === * Help prepare machines for our Installfest. (Hazel) They need to be sorted and collected and cleaned out. This requires coming down to Computer Recycling. If people want we can organize a work party for this. * Help prepare laptops for the workshops. * Get a wireless router ready for the workshops. * Get 64 bit installers working for Xubuntu * Collect materials for the Free Culture Disc. (Paul, Laurel) This can consist of music tracks, podcasts, or other audio provided that you genuinely like it and find it high quality. Laurel has a big list of free culture resources here: http://laurelrusswurm.wordpress.com/free-culture/ and find the music tracks of last year's disc here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/MusicSamplerSFD2013 . **UPDATE:** Here is a link to this year's disc: [[../FreeCultureSamplerSFD2014]] * Compile a list of "best of breed" FLOSS for Windows and Mac. We can make this software available for the Installfest. There is a list to start with here: http://www.theopendisc.com/ (which has not been updated for a few years, and is obsolete). * Prepare a list of resources that we can make into a leaflet. This can include references to other Free Culture and Free Software resources (online and especially locally) * Print out the "What is Free Software" and "What is Free Culture" PDFs from last year and glue them to bristol board. (I have these PDFs and can make them available.) * Design and print instructions for the installfest: what people have to do in order to build a machine and get GNU/Linux on it. (We will probably have a few different options here.) * Design a label for the Free Culture disc and arrange to print labels (we have some labels and can purchase some more). * Burn a bunch of Free Culture Discs (and maybe some software discs) and get labels on them, once the Free Culture Disc exists. * Help get networking and computer equipment (maybe laptops) ready for the workshops === Jobs to be done shortly before the event === * Prepare signage to direct people to the correct locations for different activities === Jobs to be done during the event === * Set up before the event. (Keefer, Kyle) This involves preparing rooms, setting up A/V equipment, hanging up signs and banners, laying out snacks, setting up giveaways. * Greeters. (Berleine) We need some people to greet people in the different areas, help people find the activities they want to attend, take tallies, and keep an eye that people are not wandering into inappropriate places. We probably need at least a couple of greeters. * Timekeeper and A/V person for the presentations. Somebody needs to keep the presentations on schedule (shaking the "Danger tamborine" if necessary) and make sure that the recording equipment is working (we hope to record many of these presentations to post later). * Installfest volunteers. (Keefer, Martin, Pascal, Peter, Kyle) We may need lots of these to help people put together computers and install distributions. We will probably have some quicker automated installation methods, but some people will also want to install weird things, or install normal things the long way. * Teardown at the end of the event. (Peter, Kyle) === Completed Jobs === * Proofread the brochure. This is especially helpful if you are presenting something. * Finalize the brochure and print it. * Fold the brochure. (Hazel, Paul) I am wondering whether we can get together a group of volunteers to help with folding on Monday at 6pm or so.

Future KW events should be held a week earlier or a week later.
We should find a more accessible space to hold our events.
Topics for the future:
- Contributing to FLOSS projects
- FLOSS-friendly art show
- Running Linux off a thumb drive
Want to help?
We also do some of our planning on mailing lists.
