people think, please comment here and/or edit the wiki

  AktiviX II - Another OS is Possible!
  ------------------------------------

  10-12th September 2004 — Sheffield, UK
  
  A weekend for environmental / animal rights / peace /
  social justice campaigners to get to know GNU/Linux
  
  There is an alternative to using the software products
  of one of the richest corporations on the planet, Free
  Software!
  
  free Software based on sharing and co-operation.
  GNU/Linux, once a plaything for geeks is now an
  impressive, stable, secure, virus-free and versatile
  alternative to Microsoft.
  
  AktiviX is a chance to try out installing and running
  GNU/Linux. A chance to share experiences and enthusiasm
  with other activists.
  
  Whatever the level of ability, confidence or experience
  with computers all activists who are interested in
  moving to Free software for a Free world are welcome
