Hi,
I don't know at what timescale you people do your planning.
Around here (Europe, the Netherlands) we are already planning
for activities around christmas. So IMO there isn't much time
left to organise anything.
An advantage of having a longer period of time in which the
Linux Demonstration Day occurs is that it can be put into the
regular meetings of a group. I made use of this as follows:
on september 15th I will present Dragon Linux to the audience
at a regular meeting of the dutch computer club in Groningen
(the city where I live). Why Dragon Linux you may ask?
Because it was presented to me as a small Linux which could
be installed non-intrusively on most PC's. (Other opinions
are welcomed.)
In the weekend from 17 to 19 september I will present a
talk on e-commerce in a meeting of the Esperanto community
in the Netherlands. When LDD extends untill this weekend,
I might be able to slip Linux into my presentation.
So a longer period gives more chances to introduce Linux
into already existing schedules.
To those people who propose sunday as LDD, I would like to
ask them to reconsider this proposition. Many people consider
sunday a religious day. They do not perform any kind of labour
(including voluntary work) on that day. So, they cannot help
me on this day; they cannot come to me to meet Linux on LDD.
For similar reasons saterday might be a bad choise as well.
So a whole week to choose from is not bad at all!
Just my 0.02 euro :)
