Dear all, The Digital Freedom Foundation is very happy to announce that registration of its fourteenth edition of Software Freedom Day has just opened. While the wiki was ready and open since April this year we just started the official registration with the map display on Monday as we were having small issues with our SSL certificates. So as usual registering an SFD event is as simple as 1-2-3: 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/2017/ 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 2017 Map here with all the other teams https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/ and be easy to spot. We want to thank our usual sponsors Google, Linode, Canonical, the FSF and FSFE. We would also like to thank Freiheit technologies, a software company based in Hamburg, Germany for continuing to support us. Full details of our sponsors are available at this page: http://digitalfreedomfoundation.org/index.php/sponsors . Back to SFD registration we have an exhaustive guide here at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide for newcomers and for the others who need help, and the SFD-Discuss mailing list is probably the best place to get prompt support ( http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss ). So get ready to celebrate and happy preparations to all! The Digital Freedom Foundation
