Hi,
I am giving a talk titled "Oolite: A Fun way to Get into FOSS" tonight at my local Linux Users Group here in Edinburgh (EdLUG).
Assuming it goes well I will be posting my presentation here for people to look at and use.
Please note I have borrowed a set of screenshots from the BB for my talk.

Sometimes the term FLOSS (Free, Libre Open Source Software) is used to emphasise that Free means free as in beer and Libre for free as in freedom.

Unfortunately I lost lots of FOSS/LUG credentials as I had to borrow a laptop off work to do the talk (not having one of my own) which was a Windows 7 laptop!
