Description

The Solano Stroll event is a ~ mile long street fair held once a year in Berkeley California on Solano Ave. There are over 500 vendor and non-profit booths. Attendees are ordinary folks from the Berkeley/SF-Bay area who may or may not have a technical background. It is, thus, a good opportunity to advertise Ubuntu to a general audience.
