Dear all,
It seems my message didn't go out very well. So I am resending it.
Mailing lists have moved to mailman3.com domain and is now:
sfd-discuss(a)mailman3.com
The current board is also resigning. I'll stay around to help out and
ensure SFD runs again this year.
If anyone wants to take over please let us know.
Thank you.
Fred

Just to update list members on some of the actions going on, the new
DFF board is working getting a few prizes for Software Freedom Day
contests. The contests are open to anyone. Feel free to promote them
at your local SFD event if you'd like.
There's a SFD song contest with a prize from MuseScore. More details here:
https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SFDSongContest
The Free Software Foundation has also donated some prizes. Contest
rules will be forthcoming.
If anyone's interested in getting more involved or becoming part of
the new DFF board, feel free to join us on matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/#SoftwareFreedomDay:matrix.org
We're at 17 days and counting down to Software Freedom Day.
If you need any help organizing a local event, registering your event
on the wiki or publicizing, please let us know.
If you'd like to share information about a local event to the Digital
Freedom Foundation's Mastodon account or other social media accounts,
send us a post about it.
There are some sample outreach communications on the Software Freedom
Day wiki at: https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CommunityOutreach
You're welcome to remix and reuse them.
Thanks to all of you who have participated in Software Freedom Day
over the years. Let's make this 20th edition a year to remember.
