Introductory letter.. 

 Greetings,
 
 It's on again... just over 4 weeks to go until 
 Saturday, 15 September, otherwise known as 
 "Software Freedom Day".
 
 To celebrate the day, MawsonLakes.Org, together with 
 the The Mawson Centre are running the second 
 Software Freedom Showcase.
 
 We are planning on running a speakers program on the 
 day and was wondering if there is anyone in your 
 organisation who would be able to talk about some
 aspect of Free and Open Source Software
