Congratulations. Hoping some people will show for my online event next Saturday. I spent today trying to post to Facebook, LinkedIn and Meetup, letting people know about Software Freedom Day and referring them to the Software Freedom Day web site. I even posted something in the Computer Science Teachers Association forum. Best wishes. Laura

Quik report on our SFD last Saturday!
by jimmypierre.rouen.france＠gmail.com Sept. 10, 2021

Sept. 10, 2021

Greetings, We had 5 members present on our stand, COVID is our enemy :( We tarted at 09:30 to set up the stand, in open air and facing River Seine. It was raining a bit, maybe the tide, than we had a beautiful day. We were kept quite busy, our SFD coincided with the annual meeting of all associations of Rouen, Normandie and surrounding towns. The main questions were about when will be holding our regular meetings. Which we cannot at this moment, because the room that the City lends us has no windows, only one door. We demonstrated all major Linux distros and in particular openSUSE / SUSE, MicroOS / Kubic, Libre Office, Raspberry with Pi-Hole, Kali Linux for Cybersecurity, Gnome, XFCE, KDE, Wordpress. Some very excited people also offered to give us a hand when we will be holding meetings. We did manage to take some pics. https://nui.fr/quelques-photos-du-sfd-du-4-sept-a-rouen-normandie We definitely had a lot of fun :) Wishing you the best for your forthcoming events!

Code for America
by LM Sept. 8, 2021

Sept. 8, 2021

Just found out Code for America is having a National Civic Hacking Day on the same day as Software Freedom Day. Was thinking it might be nice if they combined their event with Software Freedom Day and used it to help promote both groups. Maybe if some of us contact them and suggest it, they'll add their event as a part of Software Freedom Day. Here's more info on it: https://www.codeforamerica.org/national-day-of-civic-hacking/ndoch-2021/ There's a contact email on that page.

SFD 2021 Preparation
by LM July 7, 2021

July 7, 2021

I posted about Software Freedom Day 2021 in the Linked in Software Freedom Day group. Not much traffic there. No new posts since my post about SFD last year. At least there's a current post if anyone does happen to look there. I also posted about it in a new CSTA forum. I mentioned it last year to some CSTA groups and some of the computer science teachers involved seemed interested. I'll try to post in some of the other online groups I have access to as we get closer to the event. Sincerely, Laura
