Re: List of cities organizing SFD 2024

by Marcos Marado

Unlike with in the old site, the new one only has the map, but not textual list of events - this email makes me think this is something we can make better on the website for the future, so thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately it does not seem to be easy enough to do already for SFD 2024, but if Jurgen's reply doesn't give you all the info you're looking for, please just reply and ask, we'll try to give you all the information you're seeking.

List of cities organizing SFD 2024

by ParaLivre

Is there a link to the cities that will hold Software Freedom Day 2024? On the official website at https://digitalfreedoms.org/ we only have a map with links to city pages with some information. It would be interesting if there was a page that listed the cities that will hold Software Freedom Day 2024 organized by continent, country and city. -- José Roberto da Costa Ferreira Coordenador da ParaLivre - Comunidade Paraense de Software Livre

web based FLOSS list

by LM

Tomorrow is Software Freedom Day. Hard to believe it's almost here. Some companies don't allow their employees to download software to their work machines. There are times when you may not have access to your own computer and can't install something on a public machine. That doesn't mean you still can't use Free, Libre and Open Software especially if you have access to the Internet. Check out several interesting web based projects on the LibreProjects page: https://libreprojects.net/ Plus, here's my list of web based Open Source projects you can use online: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/28233.html If you're working on a presentation for Software Freedom Day, you may want to check out some FLOSS web based slide show software: https://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/Overview.html#(1) https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ It's a great way to reach people through the Internet who may not be able to make your SFD 2024 event in person. If you create a web slide show this year, please share the link with us. We'd love to see what you come up with. Hope you'll post to this list tomorrow and let us know how things turn out with your local SFD event or share how you're celebrating in your own way. Have a great Software Freedom Day, 2024.

Thank you! Yes, we're still spewing posts out to Twitter, but not engaging much there otherwise.

I've been using #SoftwareFreedomDay, #SoftwareFreedomDay2024, #SFD and #DFF to mark posts. I'll start checking for #SFD2024 on Mastodon if anyone wants to use it. If anyone wants to share Software Freedom Day information, I can boost it on Mastodon for you. Is anyone using Twitter at all? I don't frequent it much but if anyone's using it, I'll start checking there as well. SFD events are listed on the map: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/sfd/events?view=map If you don't have an event in your area and don't have time to organize something last minute, I think there are a few virtual events going on this year. Hope you can join in on one of them or join us using the Software Freedom Day matrix channel or interact with our posts on Mastodon on Saturday: https://fosstodon.org/@dff Have a great Software Freedom Day, 2024.

Software Freedom Day

by jurgen (Digital Freedom Foundation)

Hey Teams all around the world, We'll all be celebrating Software Freedom in our regions (or cherish the memory if nothing is happening where you live - maybe next year again). Did you know that you can set your time zone on digitalfreedoms.org? This means that start and end-hour of the events will be shown in your time. For live streams, it can be handy to transpose times to your local time. Also... I'd love to invite all the volunteers and evangelists to come over and join our community in our #SoftwareFreedomDay Matrix channel <https://matrix.to/#/#SoftwareFreedomDay:matrix.org> A gentle reminder... if you share pictures, stories, impressions or videos on social media... please include #softwarefreedomday2024 so we can all find it. Wishing you all the greatest of times the coming days - and may our seedlings make a difference in the world! Greetings, Jurgen
