Software Freedom Song

by Nguyen Dinh Nam

To celebrate the Software Freedom Day, I drafted a Software Freedom Song. I am too busy to prepare FPT activities for Software Freedom Day Hanoi 2007 (I'm the director of FPT Open Solutions), so the lyrics is not so smooth yet. Please listen to the midi and comment. It'll be greate if someone can add the vocal, because my vocal is too bad, I don't want to spoil. The "source code": Today is the freedom day World, unite together Promote the spirit of freedom Tomorow, we'll have the free software We'll be free to collarborate The world'll be full of free sofware Chorus: Share the software, Share the source code, Share the knowledge, Share the ideas

Promotion of SFD on Digg/Slashdot

by Mark Hinkle

Hello, I was wondering if there was an organized effort to promote SFD on Digg and Slashdot. It seems that they would be two likely places to promote awareness of the event. I did searches to see if Software Freedom Day had been submitted and that it pointed to SoftwareFreedomDay.org rather than a news site or someone's blog. I found the following two posts: http://digg.com/linux_unix/15_September_is_Software_Freedom_Day http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=286933 Maybe it would be worthwhile to post the links on SFD website. Just a thought. Regards, Mark Hinkle Open Source Groover Zenoss Core - Open Source Systems Management http://www.encoreopus.com

Re: [SFD-discuss] Free Software OSX CD

by Phil Harper

Hmmm, yes, this would be a very bad idea as a handout for Software Freedom Day, there's already enough confusion over the difference between Free Software and freeware, the last thing we want to do is encourage people to think only in terms of price tag.

Earthdance, 15 Sept

by Rik Tindall

Here's a nice coincidence for 15Sept07: http://www.earthdance.org The locale tracking is worth a lot, for comparing to SFD's. Hope preparation is going well for y'all. Enjoy! ~ Rik pp SoftwareFreedomDay.org Team Christchurch

A: We enthusiastically support the concept of free/open software and standards. But our primary concern is that students have access to high-quality software, free of charge.
