No posters, no problem.

The logo on our shirts is the banner, and it's just a matter of 
circulating & chatting with people, showing that we 'fly the flag' of 
software freedom, making new friends. I've found some GNU/Linux users 
already (CentOS) with a Wine-enabled CRM app - www.fortecrm.com - and 
one CLUGee on a stall too (has had his job 2 weeks). Quite fun really. 
Will you go?

- An orange-shirt sprinkling is all we need, to show our contribution - 
widening the skillbase to help with the labour shortage limiting overall 
sector growth. Training input..

Can you wear your SFD T?
