Subject: Software freedom day is coming around once more * Sept 2005
Don't say you didn't have enough time to plan for this event -- here's an
advanced warning for celebrations scheduled sometime in September 2005:
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/
Software Freedom Day is a global grassroots effort to promote the use of Free
and Open Source Software. Over 70 teams joined the celebration last year,
organising a range of events at schools, universities and public places. This
year, we have every opportunity to grow and make a serious impact on public
opinion.
We are again inviting you to participate by forming local teams and plan local
events. As last year, we will provide logistical support including on-line
facilities and physical materials like FOSS CDs. Please check our team pages to
see if there is a team near you, or set up a new one.
All details on the website (above). You're free to take Software Freedom Day in
any suitable direction. You're only restricted by your imagination! FN
