Software Freedom Day

Fri, 09 Sep 2005

September 10th 2005 is the second annual Software Freedom Day, a global activism day for grassroots efforts to educate the public about Free and Open Source software. You can see if anything is happening in your area by visiting the SFD teams listing.

Women interested in getting involved in Free and Open Source communities and development may be particularly interested in the SFD activities being run by women's groups:

LinuxChix Africa is running SFD events in four countries: Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya and South Africa.
Debian Women is hosting a special IRC channel for newcomers to Debian Women, a bug squashing party and a technical help day. (See Hanna Wallach's announcement for more details.)
