Hi all, I was happy to see finally Ubuntu CD BOX arrived. I am surprised to see that I got CD's and Tea shirt, Stickers etc, though I had not recieved any communicaiton from SFI.( or did I miss them in my in box- I doubt :( ). It was 'double joyful' to see the post woman bringing it. Thank you SFI, We are all set for our Big Day............ Starting big with September 17 it self . We hope to make a web casting of all the event. Let see how it will work out :) Wish every one good luck with your events.

Dear all, I've been trying without success to add a video on sfd frontpage (I guess my moinmoin skills are sub-par), and since it's going to be old news soon, I will just share the vimeo link with everyone here to make it simple. http://www.vimeo.com/6480146 I'd like to thank Daniel Stegen who did filming, stunts, editing and special effects for us. Great job! Enjoy! Fred

Bracknell UK press release
by alan c Sept. 9, 2009

Sept. 9, 2009

Press Release: Software Freedom Day 2009, Bracknell UK: Saturday September 19th will see Bracknell Bandstand a hive of activity to celebrate "International Software Freedom Day!" 10.00am - 4.00pm. It's a day when users worldwide celebrate the freedom we get by using Free, Libre, and Open-Source Software (FLOSS) and the community that surrounds it. 500 teams in 60 countries will have such events! Alan Cocks, Bracknell local volunteer and organiser said "Software Libre, freedom software, is created openly on a worldwide basis, and can be downloaded and used freely. It can even be examined, modified and re-distributed, no problem. However the freedoms accorded within the "community friendly" licensing terms must be passed on with the software. The software that people usually find on their new computer is not free, it is "proprietary", and its licence forbids examination, modification or sharing." Software Freedom Day in Bracknell will be celebrated at the Bandstand, where free CDs help and information, will be available. Computer users who wish to try some "FLOSS" software for themselves, or need more information, will find FLOSS community volunteers available to answer their questions and help. There are many FLOSS programs for Windows. For example, the OpenEducation Disc and The OpenDisc contain 58 quality choices. In addition to freedom gained, users will save a lot of money! More adventurous computer users might like to try something completely different - the easy, safe alternative to Windows, "Ubuntu". Ubuntu is Software Libre, with a strong community to support its use. Based on GNU/Linux, it is used by big business and governments, it is now available for consumers too. Local Charity BeHeard, for adults with learning difficulty, uses Ubuntu. BeHeard members are regular users of Ubuntu which is on the machines in their internet cafe facility, and some members will be collecting donations for BeHeard during the day.

by Charles McColm Sept. 9, 2009

Sept. 9, 2009

The Working Centre is holding a Software Freedom Day event in the basement of the 66 Queen Street location of The Working Centre (the most convenient entry is the door off Charles Street). For the event some of The Working Centre staff and volunteers, as well as volunteers from KWLUG, the Kitchener Waterloo Linux User Group, and the University of Waterloo CSC (Computer Science Club) have chipped in to hold workshops, presentations, and demonstrations. Demonstrations will include: Inkscape and Blender Presentations include: Linux for Windows Users, Software Freedom Day: What are We Celebrating, and Reducing Computing Expenses. Workshops include: Intro to Open Education and Open Office We still have a number of topics we were hoping to cover that haven't been filled, including: Discovering and Installing Software in Ubuntu, Don't be Afraid of the Command Line, Why Copyright Matters to You, and Music Making with Free Software. TWC is also planning on holding a Linux install-fest in the Computer Recycling portion of The Working Centre, and we're still actively looking for volunteers to help with the install-fest. Anyone interested in helping out should have a look at our SFD wiki page for contact information: http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/northamerica/canada/ontario/KitchenerWa…
