Hi again! It seems that the popular choice was Afternoon Tea, so I
propose that we meet from 3:00pm to 6:00pm on Saturday, 13 September
in the Alio Lounge at 108 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario.  I'll
have some Ubuntu disks with me, and I'm bringing some printouts of my
GnuPG key so we can have a keysigning.

Everybody's welcome, computerphile or not, both Free Software and
Proprietary Software enthusiasts, and nobody will check your operating
system at the door.

*What:* Afternoon Tea
*When:* Saturday, 13 September 2014 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm
*Where:* Alio Lounge, 108 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
*Map:* http://osm.org/go/ZX6BtMGY?m=&node=1113718580
*Register:* http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2883/detail/

Registration is optional, but if you don't register then send me an
e-mail to let me know you're coming.  I'll make reservations on Monday.



And a week later we're celebrating Software Freedom Day in Kitchener.
It's an all-day event with a stream of presentations including one on
 Open Data and one on Open Access publishing, a hands-on workshop on
Scratch programming and one on Privacy and Security with Tor, a film
festival, and an all-day installfest.  Everything is free, both in the
sense of Libre and Gratis. We're even giving away computers at the
installfest (monitors are $20).

*What:* Software Freedom Day
*When:* Saturday, 20 September 2014 from 10:00am to 4:00pm
*Where:* Queen Street Commons Cafe and The Working Centre
*Location:* 43 and 58 Queen Street South, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Hope to see you at either or both events!
