Tactical Tech's source events are very cool. I was a facilitator at the
first source even (Summer Source) in Croatia in 2003. I even
considered going along to Asia source but couldn't make them.
We sent a pile of CDs to this even as well (although evidently, it had
sounded like it was unsure if it was going to get there in time).
Supporting Free Software, and Ubuntu in particular, in non-profit
organizations is a great way to start as these are people who are
already philosophically aligned with us and are just waiting for a
distribution that fits their needs to come along and I think we all
agree that Ubuntu is uniquely well suited to come fill this void.
