Beyond 40 is having a virtual meeting today to celebrate Public Domain

Document Freedom Day. Feel free to join in:

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. May it be safe, healthy and
prosperous. Happy Public Domain Day.
We're gearing up for Document Freedom Day in March. Is anyone in the
process of brainstorming ideas for a local or virtual event for
Document Freedom Day?
There is a discussion of some possible Document Freedom Day themes in
the #DocumentFreedomDay channel on Matrix. Some hot topics that might
be of interest include digital ids and formats useful for indie web
development. I enjoyed our previous countdown to Document Freedom Day
where we shared FLOSS programs that use Open/Free formats and
discussed topics like emacs org mode and text todo files. Public
domain and Creative Commons resources using Free document formats are
a powerful combination. Let's get the word out to the world and help
promote these and similar important resources on Document Freedom Day.
Hope you enjoy Public Domain Day. Please share your favorite public
domain and Document Freedom Day software or resources. Check out
sites like Open Culture and Internet Archive to find some great
multimedia. I also have a list of public domain source code projects:

Best wishes.
