I think it's a good idea. Occassionally, people will bring stuff to the meetings to give away or sell cheap. We've also done an "InstallFest/Swap Meet" before. I don't know if we could do something like this for Software Freedom Day.

I know this was brought up a while back - but I have been thinking about<br>trying to organize an annual or semi-annual computer<br>parts/electronics/ham/whatever swap meet. I remember going to a couple<br>of them back 15 years ago or so. I have a place in mind - a parking lot
<br>(which happens to be at a WDM bar, so when it is all said and done, you<br>can grab yourselves a beer or something). I was thinking something like<br>around 4 hours some weekend morning in the late summer / early fall and
<br>maybe again in the late spring. I know I have a bunch of stuff I need<br>to get rid of (see below) and was curious if anybody else would be<br>interested in a swap meet type thing. So...who would be interested?<br><br>
And now for my shameless plug - my wife is making me get rid of a bunch<br>of parts this weekend at our garage sale. I have video cards, sound<br>cards, modems, CD-ROM drives, hubs, lots of cables, books, cases, old<br>memory, monitors, an Indigo2 and just a bunch of other stuff I need to
<br>get rid of. So, if you happen to be free this weekend (Friday and<br>Saturday from 8-4) - please stop on by and help me get back in the good<br>graces with my wife. The sale is at 5088 Oakwood Ln, in WDM (off S.<br>
50th between George Mills and Grand - Google Map<br><<a href="http://tinyurl.com/lmoy6">http://tinyurl.com/lmoy6</a>>). Also, mention that you are with the LUG or<br>CUG and get a discount - or just make an offer!<br>
