SFD registration is on!

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Dear all, With a bit of delay, the *Digital Freedom Foundation* is very happy to announce that registration of the eleventh edition of Software Freedom Day <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/> opened early August. This year we are unfortunately unable to ship any goodies for the pre-registered teams: as we have mentioned before, our involvment with the Cambodian system of education required us to relocate. Being happy owners of a few special animals (CITES-II listed species <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CITES#Appendix_II>) we would not have moved without them. This took us about 3-4 months to make it happen and we arrived in Phnom Penh end of May. We then had to look for a place to live, get our furnitures out of the customs and a member of our team got hospitalized for ten days in July. With all this, identifying new suppliers for the schwag just could not happen. Nevertheless, SFD teams <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2014> have been very patient and nice with us and hopefully *SFD 2014* will not be too much impacted by this. So as usual registration <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py> happens after you have created your event page on the wiki <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/>. We have an exaustive guide here <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide> for newcomers and for the others who need help, the SFD-Discuss mailing <http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss> is probably the best place to get prompt support. We will come back with more details regarding sponsors, things to do or worth mentioning to bring inspiration and motivation to the celebration. So get ready to celebrate and happy preparations to all! The Digital Freedom Foundation
