ISLUG is based in Pocatello, Idaho, but we have an active mailing list with contributors who believe in free and open source software (FOSS) from around the state and nearby in Wyoming and Utah. We hosted a successful SFD event in 2006 http://islug.wikispaces.com/SoftwareFreedomDay2006 and we need ideas to improve for 2007

Status Updates:

Ways you can help:

  • Print and post flyers..
  • make and bring refreshments
  • bring switches, cables, laptops, blank CDs or DVDs, thumb drives

Shirts and Cd's arrived but CD's are a little worse for the wear. I guess the trip from the Netherlands was rough.
