Photo showing the lid of a laptop, which is filled with stickers. There are so many overlapping over each other that barely 10% of the laptop lid itself is visible. The newest / highest are an "I Love Free Software" and "This Computer is not old" stickers from the FSFE, as well as a sticker of the orange OMEMO fish logo. Other stickers include a couple of rows of NLnet hex stickers, Open Rights Group stickers on the laptop hinge, a variety of XMPP stickers including Monal, Conversations, XMPP network graph, big OpenStreetMap and FSF stickers, as well as sourceware and Software Freedom Conservancy stickers in the bottom left corner. Below these free software related stickers, some Formula 1 related stickers, with some helmets, race cars and team logos, can be barely seen peeking through.

A close-up photo of the same laptop, focused on the FSFE's "This Computer is not old" sticker. It shows a retro-looking grey pop-up box on a blue background, which looks like it comes from a boot screen or non-graphical linux install. The title of the popup box is "fsfe.org". Inside, the box says: "This computer is not old, it is sustainable." There are two buttons at the bottom of the box, the left (selected) one says "OK" and the right one says "Cancel". Also visible in frame, surrounding/underneath the sticker, are the edges of an OpenStreetMap sticker, a McLaren F1 car sticker, a Phosh sticker, a GNU sticker and an IndyCar sticker.
FOSS Meetup in #London on Saturday was a success, we ultimately had 9 people attend that day.That you so much to those who attended, and also those who helped with outreach. I am aiming to run another one sometime in October, but this time with more infrastructure.
Also again, thanks to the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) for managing to get the sticker package to us on short notice.
If anyone lives in/near #London and is passionate about #FOSS and #Freedom and would like to help build a community, please do reach out, the more the merrier.
Picture of the meetup attached, lots of stickers!

Photo looking downwards onto a round wooden table in a pub environment, on which some pint glass es are visible (some empty, some half-full) as well as some FSFE informative leaflets and stickers. The table is surrounded by ~8 people, who are not visible in frame apart f rom some arms and legs, as the camera is looking down. One person's hand is reaching into the sticker pile. There are so many stickers sprawled over the table that they have taken over ~80% of the table. The stickers are loosely grouped into a few sections: the overwhelming majority are FSFE stickers, while nearer the camera there are also some w ith the logos of XMPP, Snikket and OMEMO.
I hope to be there once I finish with work, probably a couple of hours after it starts.
