SFD meeting

by LM

We're having our last official board meeting before Software Freedom Day on September 19th. It'll be on Matrix in the #DigitalFreedoms channel at 10:30 AM Eastern time or 2:30 PM GMT. You don't have to be a board member to attend. If you'd like anything added to the agenda, let us know. Also, if anyone wants some help getting the word out about their event, we'd be happy to boost social media posts or share links to event information on our social media accounts. Hope to see some of you tomorrow.

Any virtual or hybrid celebrations?

by LM

Less than a month until Software Freedom Day 2026. 28 days and counting down. Is anyone planning on doing a virtual or hybrid event this year? I'd like to get a list together and highlight those for anyone who wasn't able to find an event in their area. Please let me know. Also, if anyone's planning on recording their events and sharing the records online, please share URLs to the recordings. Thank you.

by jsamuelsii

Hey everyone, Our next DFF monthly meeting is coming up Tuesday, September 1st at 16:30 CET / 10:30am ET. With us being a worldwide crew, double-check that against your local time. Quick catch-up from last time, in case you missed it: - SFD 2026 registrations are at 28 events and counting. That's 33% up from this time last year, with some encouraging spread into new regions. - We're running a banner giveaway to get people sharing SFD photos/posts. There are 3 banners up for grabs for the best entries. Got something you want on the agenda? Just reply to this email or drop it in the Matrix channel; either works! We'll fold submissions into the agenda ahead of the meeting. (meeting room link below) https://matrix.to/#/#digitalfreedoms:matrix.org See you on the 1st! Sincerely, Digital Freedom Foundation

So you wanted to order your awesome #SFD2026 banner but you're too late? Good news. We still have a few left and you can win one. Please share your blog posts, articles, videos or social media posts about Software Freedom Day and tag us so we can see them or email a link to them to this mailing list. We're giving away 3 banners to the best entries. Submissions must include a picture or video of your SFD activities. I'm not going to send a picture of the banner over email but you can see a photo of this years' banner on the DFF social media feeds such as Mastodon or Bluesky.
