If you want to find ways of promoting OSS in your local area, then a small meeting with 2 / 3 people who live near you would be an idea, get together, grab a note pad, and write down ideas, throw ideas at each other, perhaps draft an e-mail on paper, or a letter. anyway see anyone who can make it at the next meet 9 may 2009, 3pm shoreline, June meet onwards should be back on the first saturday.
