Software Freedom Day 2009: registration is open!
We all use software in computers, mobile and other gadgets. We are confused and always little aware about the software technology, its political aspects and human rights obliviously due to complexity. And this gives chance to some big companies, big corporation and most of the time small vendor who supply software, they take advantage of our innocence and play with our technological (software) rights. Don’t we fight for our rights in this political world, if we don’t some one else do, and we get benefit and in return we support those who have done the sacrifices . Same thing apply with software if you don’t care for your software freedom its okay, someone else is doing this complex job, only thing needed is your participation and support, so that software remain Free (Freedom) and you can enjoy following four Freedoms.
I feel happy to make people aware about Free Software please feel free to clear your doubts with me about Free software if you have any. Hi SFD’ers, The first 200 teams registered before Friday 10 July will receive an SFD team pack including three SFD 2009 T-shirts, Ubuntu CDs, and a few other bits and pieces to support your day – we’ll keep you posted on what’s going into the pack. As usual, these packs are sent to teams all over the world with support from our sponsors: Canonical (the folks who bring you Ubuntu), Google and DKUUG (with additional help from Linode, Zac-ware, Linux Magazine and FSF). If you haven’t taken part before, learn how to run a new event from our easy to read StartGuide [3] – and if you have any questions, just email info@sf-day.org. Good luck with your SFD 2009 preparations, and don’t forget to pass the message around and get more teams involved. We had over 550 teams last year and are anticipating over 700 this year! Thank you for connecting, creating and sharing! Robert [1] http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/2009/map.shtml |
