Hi all,
On Tuesday 1 December 2009 at 1200 UTC, Software Freedom International will be holding its annual "regular meeting" to review progress to date and elect the board for the following year.
All team leaders are invited to join in this meeting, which will take place via IRC (
freenode.net channel #sfd-meeting). If you'd like to become more involved in SFD, or have some comments that you'd like to offer, then you may be interested to attend the meeting and influence the way that SFI works. We will also be looking for new members to join the board of SFD.
If you'd like to join us, please send me via email
- a short description (one sentence, if appropriate) of your involvement with SFD to date
- if you'd like to join the board of SFI, please send a paragraph describing how you would contribute to the promotion of SFD
For reference, we are looking for people with some familiarity with open source software and digital rights, some interest in mobilising a global community of free software enthusiasts, and possibly contacts that might help with the production of schwag (T-shirts, CDs) or sponsorship. The main requirements are enthusiasm and vision!
This information must be sent to me before 17 November 2009, and further information about the meeting will be sent to those individuals who would like to participate. The meeting will be held publicly and all are welcome to attend, but only those who have contacted me will be eligible to contribute to the meeting. If you have any questions, feel free to direct these to me or
info@sf-day.org.
In the meantime, good luck with your preparations and please do give some thought to contributing to the global organisation that goes into SFD!
Regards,
Robert
President, Software Freedom International
