Many people would like to switch to free software. They might not have awareness on the options or what software they can use. So I was thinking of publicly announcing such meetups and help them switch to free software. Similar to GNU/Linux installation fests. What do you think?

Sounds good. Let's give it a try.

This is a good idea. However, I am not sure if "Many people" really want to do that. Nevertheless, I support publicly announcing this. Even if we could help some people, that would be great.
