Software Freedom Day Ideas??

Hey ho. Not sure what we are going to get up to for Software Freedom day this year. It is on Saturday, September 16th.

We have a wiki over at http://vic.computerbank.org.au/wiki/SoftwareFreedomDay.

I'm going to put in an application to use the Melbourne Town Hall on the off chance we go with the following idea. I'm thinking that a fair/open day event might be a real goer. We could have a few speakers. Demos of free software and stalls from different open source groups. Computerbank could sell some of it's stock of recycled computers and other bits and pieces. We could screen Revolution OS too. We'd need a bit of publicity to attract a crowd. A penguin out the front could attract passing by traffic and hand out free CD's. Perhaps we could invite John So and Steve Bracks and other people ?

Got any other suggestions? Think something big and public, we need to spread the word to as many people as possible. :)
