The event was the result of the cooperation between Zandletters.be and Ubuntu-be (4 volunteers in the morning, 5 in the afternoon). From 10.30 to 15.00 hr., 4 sessions were organized, including presentation of SFD and FOSS, and 3 workshops focused on Office, Internet and Multimedia applications. Approximately 50 interested persons attended the event. Most of questions were about OpenOffice, compatibility with MS Office formats, Ubuntu, dual-boot and virtualization. All conversations stressed the need for more information about FOSS and alternatives like OpenOffice and Ubuntu, but in a way that "normal" users can understand. Software Freedom Day 2011 will be organized on 17/09/2011. == Pictures == {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-1.JPG}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-2.JPG}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-3.JPG}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-4.JPG}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-5.jpg}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-6.jpg}} {{attachment:SFD2010-Ostend-7.jpg}}
