Free Software has had much success in different places around the world
but people in the UK are often not aware of this. So Manchester Free
Software is having a talk to help rectify this and inspire greater use
of free software in the UK.

    "The talk will be describing some of the advances that free software
has made in different countries around the world, discussing some of the
pro-freedom legislation, the battles that have been fought with
proprietary software companies, and highlighting the positive impact
that Free Software has had."

The event will include a Q&A session, discussion and then lively debate
in the pub afterwards.
