 * Free software trivia night
 * Free Your Phone workshop for installing Replicant or similar. Note that Replicant is only supported on a very limited number of devices, so would require that people came with a known compatible device eg. bought from eBay. For people who don't have a compatible device and aren't able to buy a new one, we could help them install F-Droid free software app store.

 * GNU Parallel

 * Pagekite

 * The state of free software social networks including Diaspora and Identica
