Best SFD 2009 Event Competition Winner

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear all, It is with great pleasure (and a bit of delay) that we're announcing the results of the Best 2009 SFD Event Competition. Many thanks to all the participants, organizers and sponsors for being here with us each year on SFD date since 2004 and making it happen. We saw some excellent examples of how to take software freedom to local communities, and we were inspired, as you all will be to see some of the outcomes and reports. Definitely a great read while you're still in the last stage of your preparations before the big day. Now to the prizes: the three outstanding teams will receive a Tux-Droid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_Droid) and a trophy. The highly commended entries will receive a certificate for their excellent submissions. We want to extend a warm congratulations in particular to the three winners (in no particular order): * Bluepoint Linux User Elite * FOSS Nepal * 8Layertech and the three highly commended entries: * KN FOSS * TTCS Web * Emakulam Please do read more about the entries along with their reports in our competition 2009 results page here: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/competition/winners-2009 You will also have noticed that the 2010 Best Event Competition has been announced together with the prizes for this year. The rules will be finalized by the end of the month, but don't expect any drastic change: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/competition We hope you're all as much excited as us to see Makerbot Industries (a 3D open source printer) joining the rank of our supporters, and that will stimulate you to better document your event. Remember that the recommend hashtag is #softwarefreedomday and all the best for Saturday (or any other day if you had to find a better day)! Thank you all. SFI Board

The FSF is not even a sponsor of the event. I think it is important to have his opinion presented. He actually started all this. Maybe there are other opinions but I do think the FSF is the organization that most focuses on freedom. Other organizations focus on other qualities of free software. -- Saludos/Greetings Quiliro Ordóñez 593(2)340 1517 / 593(9)821 8696 Even The Troops Are Waking Up <http://tinyogg.com/watch/My8SB/> ACTA – Un acuerdo que puede garantizar la crucificción de internet<http://quiliro.wordpress.com> GNU should mean "GNU's not Ubuntu!<http://quidam.cc/03-03-2010/gnu-should-mean-gnus-not-ubuntu> "Lo único que se necesita para que triunfe el mal es que los hombres de bien no hagan nada."
