Public Domain Day and Document Freedom Day

by LM

Beyond 40 is having a virtual meeting today to celebrate Public Domain Day. Thought it might also be a good time to brainstorm ideas for Document Freedom Day. Feel free to join in: https://gath.io/XDKJ66FYl2ABCs2B1FktE

Happy New Years

by LM

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: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/10325.html Best wishes.
