Community outreach

by Jurgen Gaeremyn

Hey Software Freedom Friends, lots of things are happening - SFD 2023 is closing in quickly. Programs probably are getting their final shape. Whoever's considering recording or live streaming the events, is welcome to use the OBS scene collection <https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/VideoConferencing/OBS-studio>. Now is also a great moment to reach out to your local community, if you haven't already. We're thinking social media accounts, we're thinking mailing lists, we're thinking local policy makers. For each of these groups, you can find a suggestion on the wiki <https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CommunityOutreach>. Feel free to adapt to your local situation, or use some ideas as inspiration for a mail in your local language. Currently we already have one submission for the SFD Song challenge. Don't forget submit your entry too! The FSF is also awarding some prizes to winning teams! Keep an eye on our Mastodon account <https://fosstodon.org/@dff> (or one of the other social media accounts <https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/SocialNetworks>), the Matrix channel <https://matrix.to/#/#SoftwareFreedomDay:matrix.org> or the mailing list for updates. Grtz, Jurgen

However, talks are in German only for both Kielux events, so I'm assuming people who want to watch these will be from the CEST time zone anyway.

Each local team is welcome to change the day of the event if it conflicts with other commitments. Some teams will be celebrating on other days leading up to or just after the 16th.

SFD countdown

by LM

We're at 13 days and counting until Software Freedom Day, the 20th edition. Just a reminder to include the timezone when you advertise or let people know about your Software Freedom Day events. A few years ago, I forgot to add the timezone and had people tuning it at the appointed time but for their timezones. So, they came too early or missed things. Since we're worldwide, people anywhere in the world could see information about your event, but they may not remember to adjust for the time difference between their location and yours. I've seen mentions for events that look like they'll be really great including these: https://sfd.nosk.org.np/ http://tiny.cc/sfd23 https://kielux.de/p/KOLT23 Feel free to post about your own events on this mailing list. We'd be happy to mention them on the Digital Freedom Foundation's social media accounts. Hope everyone has a wonderful Software Freedom Day next week.

Re: Software Freedom Day - virtual event options

by Jurgen Gaeremyn

I'm pretty sure debconf is also celebrating software freedom! A big shout-out to the Debian community for creating the grandfather of a lot of distros, while being as vivid and lean as most of its offspring! Nextcloud also has its big event the 16th. So same goes there: kudos for creating the privacy respecting alternative to the big cloud suites. Wishing the both of you a great celebration! You'll be missed, but both project will certainly be present all over the place.
