Software Freedom Day 2008

Well today was the day, we did not have as many people stop by as we had hoped. However disc were handed out and new friendships and alliances were formed. We got to meet the newest member of The New Mexico LoCo Phil Smith and few of those ABQ Web Geeks showed up as well, a game of tremulous broke out and fun was had by all.

September 20th 2008 marks the next Software Freedom Day and The New Mexico Ubuntu Loco plan to have a better year this year than in 2007. Now that the New Mexico Loco is an Official Team and we know to register our team early we will have plenty of Cd's to hand out along with other goodies.
