At an event i attended in June, i got involved with a IT help session, people seemed interested and responsive to the idea there are alternatives to windows etc, there is another event on 30th September, (aimed at older people) which I am at, I am also at an event in September (festival of learning, community generally) so these are a really good opportunity to talk about alternatives and give people flyers, but what ever happens, this needs to be backed up by a solid support network we have a lug but we need people who can help and answer questions when there are issues.
