Free Software Lausanne Users Group (FSLUG)

[Antenore Gatta]

Hi all,

I'm one of the co-founder of a new Free Software Users Group in Lausanne, the
FSLUG.

http://fslug.simbiosi.org/

We are working as much as possible to have something acceptable for the public
asap.

We would love to have your opinions and advices (if any).

These are the main tasks we are working on:

1. FSLUG Internet site.

We have a working (really simple) structure, made with HTML and PHP (made with
VIM, the Emacs version will come :-) ).
None of us is native French neither native English, so we are looking for
translators (French native members also).
We need content.

2. FSLUX (Free Software and contraction of Lausanne+Linux)

We are building a portable Free Software system, based on Trisquel Linux (it
uses a blob free kernel and only free software), and in parallel a Linux From
Scratch (free as well), both running on qemu with KVM.
We will then put the raw image and the qemu executable (also for window$) on a
usb key. In this way the system can be used from a normal windows (no reboot
needed).
The advantages of this are many, but we are not sure it's ethically correct.

3. Events and meetings

Before we need to finish the 1st point at least.

Do you kindly have any advices?
Do you see anything is not in line with the GNU manifesto and the FSF
philosophy?


Thank you very much

Kind regards

Read the various guides and HOWTOs, particularly about events.
There are several and may help you avoid some of the silly mistakes
we have made in the past.

I'll let others comment more the qemu thing. Personally, if it
persuades people to try freer systems, great.

Best wishes,

Hi Sebastien,
first of all thanks a lot for your support, it's much appreciated!
I'll let you have some text to check as soon as we will have something
acceptable.
Don't you mind if I'll send you HTML files?

HTML is just fine for me...

I probably won't have enough time to translate everything but I'll give
some help to start...

Hi,

I'm a native French (do a lot of misspell anyway) from Geneva.

I can translate most important text in french.

You probably don't have a cvs like fsfe translator team but send me file
in final version. And I'll see what I can do...
