We are running a show in Europe as far as I'm aware. Philips Agrain is arranging the venue, but it's the same show.
If your group is doing this event in Europe and is willing to mention free software in the title there, how about agreeing to do so in the US as well?

Some messages take on a life of their own. Rather than having to ram them down someone's throat, they do the work for you. That's what happened with "Open Source".
Not only that--large companies such as IBM promote the open source message. For many reasons, that message spreads very well.
That is why we ought to give utmost priority to spreading the message that open source fails to convey--the message of freedom.
