Software Freedom Day 2007
September 7th, 2007 by aizatto
Software Freedom Day (SFD) is on Saturday September 15th and is just around the corner, next week folks! This year, thanks to the help of Inigo Tech, the Kuala Lumpur team for SFD will be situated in KL Central, accessible to just about everyone.
Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about of the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business — in short, everywhere! The non-profit company Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.
What did we do last year? Well nothing really, though we pulled off a very successful FOSS campaign in the August PC Fair. I think it was a more than good substitute.
What will we doing this year? Judging from the wiki, it looks like nothing new really.
But we do need volunteers, or any FOSS related contributions! I most definitely think we need more CDs and volunteers.
Want to know how to help? Have a look at the wiki, and update it with any possible contributions you can think of!
See you at Software Freedom Day 2007!
