Re: Thank you

by Jurgen Gaeremyn

Hello Edmund, Thank you for your message, and it's a great idea to combine SFD with a fitting event. Comparable with a birthday party... if you celebrate it a few days later because that gives a better outcome, will you stop calling it a birthday party? Don't hesitate to add your event to the website and wiki! If you use the #softwarefreedomday and #softwarefreedomday2023 hashtags in your social media, we will also try sharing the event on our channels... Happy Software Freedom Day!

Thank you

Thanks to all who participated in Software Freedom Day this year. We appreciate your efforts no matter how big or small. We still have a few more groups participating over this weekend and scheduled for Sunday. Overall, I think we all were very successful in bringing together a global celebration just in the nick of time to commemorate the 20th year of Software Freedom Day. Don't you love it when a plan comes together? If you have a 30 second or less video clip about Software Freedom Day or from your event or want to create a short video, please send it to us. We'll put the clips together for an official SFD 2023 video. You can send a link to your video via the SFD discussion mailing list or via Mastodon (@dff@fosstodon.org) or upload it to: https://cloud.hsbxl.be/index.php/s/sTrSS7kqaYtKqeR If you have videos of talks or other SFD related multimedia you've created with CC licensing, we started a wiki page to share them: https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SFDtalks Feel free to add your own links there or send them to us as well. Thanks again to everyone. You've all done a wonderful job.

One day and counting until Software Freedom Day

by LM

I cannot believe Software Freedom Day is almost upon us. If you haven't been able to spark, ignite or find a local event, I started this list of virtual events: https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/onlineevents Here's hoping that anyone who wants to participate in Software Freedom Day this year can do so. If your group is running a virtual or hybrid event, streaming part of your program or recording it for later, please feel free to add your information to the list. You can post about it to this mailing list or email me and I'll add it to the wiki. If you're looking for some Free Software to demonstrate that doesn't require installation, here's a list of web based FLOSS anyone can try out: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/28233.html I try to keep a list of FLOSS projects in honor of Software Freedom Day. The list is a bit old and I'm hoping I'll still be able to update it before tomorrow, but I wanted to share it in hopes others will find some interesting programs and resources they may not be familiar with: http://www.distasis.com/cpp/pbtc.htm Lawrence Lessig's free ebook on Free Culture is a pretty good read. If you have a list of resources or software recommendations for your celebrations, feel free to share them here. I can add them to the wiki as well. If you want to give away prizes this year, don't forget the following contests: https://www.digitalfreedomfoundation.org/index.php/173-fsf-freedom-challenge https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SFDSongContest Plus, there are plenty of great virtual prizes you can share such as links to your favorite FLOSS programs and Creative Commons and public domain multimedia (such as ebooks, audio books, music, games, etc.). Hope everyone has a very enjoyable Software Freedom Day, 2023. Happy 20th edition!
