Dear all,
The Digital Freedom Foundation is very happy to announce that today is
the nineteenth edition of Software Freedom Day! Please take a look at
the SFD 2022 map(1) to either find an online event or one in your area,
or simply decide you run your own by following the steps below:
1. Create a wiki account if you don't already have one
2. Create a wiki page in your area under this page(2)
3. Go to the registration page to register and let us know exactly who
and where you are.(3)
This year we've added the event date on the SFD map which you can fine
tune by added #DATE: and YYYY-MM-DD at the top of your wiki page to tell
us when your event is happening. By default we set it to today, but
should you run an event next month don't forget to add this little
hidden code in your wiki page.
We will probably also add longitude and latitude parameters soon in
order to allow to easily update your location should you register early
and end up running your event elsewhere.
At the time of this writing we have 34 teams listed on the wiki and
about 27 events registered.
Anyway thank you again for participating in Software Freedom Day this
year, we wish you all the best for SFD 2022!

Dear all,
Another year and another... oops.
You can now register your event on the 2022 SFD Map, you'll of course
need to have a wiki page for that as usual. But a lot of you did create
your event wiki page already.
The process is:
1. Create a wiki account if you don't already have one
2. Create a wiki page in your area under
http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2022/ then country/city/team
3. Go to https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py and let
us know exactly who and where you are.
At the end of all this you'll appear on the SFD 2022 Map here with all
the other teams https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/ and be easy to spot.
This year, due to the late opening we've added the event date. By
default it is September 17, 2022 after registration.
We're looking at how to get that from a wifi page automatically so you
can change that date and give you more time for preparation. We'll put
up a guide somewhere soon (today).
Last we, as a board (and me personally), have done a terrible job
organizing SFD (and other events) over the past few years. We are
therefore stepping down and will continue this discussion about the
handover on the sfd-discuss mailing list. 2023 will be our 20th
anniversary and we sincerely hope we can find a better team to run SFD
by then!
Thank you for your patience.
So all the best and get have a happy Software Freedom Day 2022.
Thank you very much again!
The Digital Freedom Foundation
