Hi all,
I participated in a Software Freedom Day[1] event on Saturday, held at
the City University of Hong Kong[2], at which Hong Kong Linux Users'
Group[3] were one of the primary organisers. I plan to write a detailed
report and will post it and the photos as soon as I get some time.
Meanwhile, some basic data for starters:
Turnout: Over 100
Topics covered at talks: MeeGo, Java, 3D modelling hardware(Reprap),
free drivers, Python, etc
Distros present : Mainly Debian, some Ubuntu, a fedora guy, 2 redhat
guys, a couple of Meego people, and myself(openSUSE).
Projects present(non-distro): Mozilla, GNU(saw no people, only goodies),
Creative Commons, Java, Python, GNOME.
DVDs distributed: 50 promo DVDs, 20 Li-f-e DVDs, 5 KDE Live CDs, 10
downloaded DVDs, 5 copied ISOs off my laptop.
(Unfortunately, I had too few DVDs, and demand was quite appreciable)
I mostly distributed a copy of [4] with the DVDs, mainly because most
seemed to be non-beginners, and potential contributors even in the short
term. It would probably have been better if some goodies/sticker could
be arranged, but I was not sure if I could attend.

P.S. Sorry for the cross-post, but although these seems to be an
ambassador presence, most SFD reports are coming in on the marketing list.
