Education Freedom Day on March 21st 2015!

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Dear all, For its second edition Education Freedom Day is coming back full speed on a better date for the people from the south of the planet and the people in China (at least). We have indeed listen to the scheduling problems and have moved the event to the third Saturday of March. As usual for all our Freedom celebrations the process is similar, you get together and decide to organize an event, then create a page in our wiki[1] and register your team[2]. As the date approaches you get to put more information in your wiki page (or on your organization website which is linked from the wiki) such as the date and time, the location and what people can expect to see. Education Freedom Day is really the opportunity to review all the available Free Educational Resources available, how they have improved since last year and what you should start planning to implement to deploy in the coming months. We try to list the major materials we hear about (a few of them at least) in our wiki [3] which goes from specific tuition to complete solutions making sure those are really Free as in Freedom. Some involve software, some don't (except for the materials to follow). You can of course help us to complete the list by editing the wiki. Artworks and promotional banners[4], countdown[5] are available for use and reuse. All can be found on the wiki (we've added the links below. We wish you the best possible time to prepare and spend EFD and will blog on DFF website[6] as we get closer to the event, about the various things we feel could be interesting. Should you be up to sharing your experience don't hesitate to email the EFD mailing list, and why not be invited to blog on our website! Thanks a lot and happy EFD!
