LUGOD at the 2004 Whole Earth Festival


LUGOD had a booth at the 2004 Whole Earth Festival at UC Davis. The Fesitval took place from Friday, May 7th through Sunday, May 9th, and was held outdoors, at the UC Davis Quad.

WEF is "an annual student run event that brings over 30,000 people together to discover and celebrate sustainable and conscious living on Planet Earth."

WEF hours were 12pm-6pm on Friday, and 9am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Our FIN (Festival Identification Number) this year was ED-1423.

      A no-commitment, bootable 'Live CD' of Linux.
