- We meet at The University of Abertay Dundee fortnightly as the Abertay Linux Society and promote Linux and free and open source software within the Tayside region of Scotland as an alternative to proprietary software.
- We had a very successful Software Freedom Day 2008 with our Software Freedom Day 2008 Program. This year we hope to surpass this with our Software Freedom Day 2009 Program.
- The most fascinating Fedora project that I have ever seen is the POSSE project
Aims
- To promote Free and Open Software within Tayside, Scotland and the United Kingdom and to lobby government bodies that it should be be adopted and implemented within the educational infrastructure.
