Greetings to all, Me and my team here in University of Benin Nigeria are trying to set up a Linux User Group. I would say its not easy and thanks to Canonical who gave us 10 CDs on Ubuntu 9.04 last year which we are gladly making use of and I must say that the operating system is great and most people we preach it to loved it. We are still on the learning phase of Linux and we love to do great things and we believe that by hosting a freedom software day here we do a lot more talking for us, my team and I are working hard for our website and if there is any help any one can render we will be grateful for the assistance.We're also looking for volunteers to help us get direct site were we could download UBUNTU packages and update for off line mode installation that will help a lot because Internet access is one of our limiting factors here and that is why most persons here shy away from UBUNTU Thanks for your time and the great work you guys are all doing I will like to have assistance in the form of advice, download links, pdf materials, books, etc that can help us, please do contact us. Please be rest assured that my team and I will be very grateful for any assistance that you have to offer. That will be all for now and we hope you're starting to get ready for this year SFD. Thank you all. Warm regards, Odion Endurance

New section "Movies"
by Thilo Pfennig 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hi all, I like to point you to a new section I have begun about Movies: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources#Movies I know some, but not all. And I like to invite you all to add what you know. I find Movies a great thing for events like SFD to give people some other view. Also its often cheap and efficient to get good input. Its not talks and its not pure software. I also like the open source films, who are built with open source tools or which source files can also be used. People can see what is possible. regards, Thilo -- Software Freedom International http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ Software Freedom Day 2010 in preparation!
