As we wrote a few months ago in this blog, Ercole Carpanetto planned to hold Mappano Open Days in his town in Italy.
Mappano Open Days took place this weekend.
In correspondence with Ercole, he says that the event was a success, where they gave away 200 Live CDs and DVDs of GNU/Linux and Free/Open Source Software programs to some businessmen and a lot of students and home users.
Like Lindependence in Felton, people came from far and wide: Three women came from Milano, which is more than 150 kilometers away, and a teacher came from Bologna, which is about 200 kilometers away. That beats us: The farthest distance people came to Felton was from Oakland and Berkeley, about 80 miles tops.
I think pictures will be up soon enough either on Ercole’s blog or on the Mappano Open Days site.
Good one, Ercole! Grazie!
hi Larry, would you please update this post when Ercole posts pics on his website? I am kinda not interested in RSSing his page just right now. Please let me know if this is unworkable. Thx!
