I don't always have CDs available for Software Freedom Day or our local school district Tech Conference. If I have a few available, I'll typically give them away as prizes. I tell the participants they can download their own and give them links to do so. I put together a page of Open Source resources and update the links every year. I include CD collections and articles on how to make CD disk covers, cross-platform Open Source software, links to our local users groups, links to web based Open Source resources/applications, portable apps, Creative Commons multimedia links and other related information. I've posted a copy of this year's page minus the local user's groups here in case anyone's interested: http://www.distasis.com/cpp/pbtc.htm At some point (maybe next year's Software Freedom Day), I'd like to put together my own CD collection of Open Source programs. I have a number of cross-platform Open Source programs I build from source that are lightweight and hard to find in most Linux distributions or on Windows. Sincerely, Laura

how to questions

Our local Linux Users Group used to participate ever year in Software Freedom Day. I've volunteered at the local event several times and done publicity for it. Unfortunately, our users group disbanded last year. I really miss celebrating SFD and showing others what interesting Open Source software is available to them. No other groups in our area participated in Software Freedom Day last year. I decided to try to run a Software Freedom Day event of my own this year and see if any former Linux Users Group members would be willing to help out. I've contacted our local library to reserve a room. Would like to know how to get the event added to the SFD event map for 2017. Is there anything I need to do in coordination with the SFD web site/project to make our event official? Any suggestions for holding a successful event would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
