A very excited Year 8 student reminded me today that we have to start
planning for Software Freedom Day in September, and that this year the
T-shirts are lime green!

Last year our Year 7/8 Computer Club at St. Mxxxx's planned the
celebration for the Friday before SFD (this year it is the 14th September):

* Students made an advertisement for SFD, with the Farnham song "Freedom".

* They presented their advertisement at assembly and spoke about SFD and
   what OpenSource means.

* We had the Open CD and Ubuntu disks to hand out on the day (but this
   year we are taking donations for a charity for DVD's).

* We also did a video stream from our multimedia room into the school 
   canteen area where the students demonstrated how easy it was to use
   Firefox, OpenOffice, Gimp and Audacity.

We got T-shirts for the kids and had orange balloons to go with the colour
theme for the day. We celebrated SFD on the Friday before the actual day.

Not sure what we will do this year, but the kids seem enthused!
