Melbourne, Australia report
by Lev Lafayette Oct. 3, 2013

Oct. 3, 2013

Over fifty people attended Software Freedom Day in Melbourne, Australia which ran from 9.30 to 17.00 at 110 Grey Street East Melbourne (Melbourne Unitarian Church hall). The event was jointly organised by Linux Users of Victoria and Free Software Melbourne with the theme of the day was "Free Software for a Free Society". There was six main speakers on the day, covering issues such a content creation with free software, free and open source software in public decision making, privacy issues, the One Laptop per Child project, the organisation of free software communities. In addition to the speakers we had installations of Linux, plenty of t-shirts, software and other paraphernalia giveaways, videos and a free lunch. We would especially like to thank the Melbourne Unitarian Church for letting us use the premises and for BENK Open Systems for the financial support and, of course, the Digital Freedom Foundation, it's sponsors and supporters. -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GCertPM, MBA mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt

report on SFD in Dallas, Texas
by Steve Rainwater Oct. 3, 2013

Oct. 3, 2013

We had a good Software Freedom Day event in Dallas, Texas this year. The event was hosted by Dallas Makerspace, a local hackerspace. We did not get an exact count for attendance. Estimates varied from 50 to 75 people. We had representatives from Fedora to demonstrate GNU/Linux and give away Fedora T-shirts and CDs. Representatives from CircuitCo demonstrated the BeagleBoard and Intel Minnow free hardware boards running GNU/Linux. We had lots of swag from SFD, FSF, and Creative Commons. (For some reason the EFF did not respond to our requests this year, so no EFF swag). We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for our guests. We had talks on Drupal, Blender, Civic Hacking, GNU/Linux security and privacy, Libre Office, and other topics. I took a few photos with my mobile phone: http://flickr.com/photos/steevithak/sets/72157635746080145/ You can read more about the event on our web page: https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Software_Freedom_Day_2013 -Steve

Re: [SFD-discuss] [sfd] Thanks

Hi Everybodeee! I thought we had a great Kwartzlab Software Freedom Day and GNU 30th Anniversary celebration here in Kitchener. I also think we had around 45 people attending. I'll upload pictures and video to the SFD Kwartzlab Wiki[1] as soon as they're back from the darkroom. Laurel Russwurm took video of the presentations until the memory in the camera gave out (sorry, Joe Almeida!), as well as pictures. She's working on assembling the video fragments into reasonable wholes, and culling the best pictures out of the thousands she took. You can see some of her work in progress[2a], including the "Three Cheers For GNU" photo and video. I took some phonecam shots as well[2b], trying to use the ownCloud "Instant Upload" feature. I now know that "Upload pictures via WiFi only" means you have to connect to the WiFi to upload pictures, otherwise it's not so Instant. If anyone else took pictures or video, feel free to put them on the Wiki yourself, or you can upload them to my ownCloud "Contributions" folder[3] and I can put them on the Wiki for you. It was a great day, and I hope we do it again next year. Maybe we can even participate in Education Freedom Day[4] or Hardware Freedom Day![5] --Bob.

We celebrated last Saturday at the Far Eastern University with around 700 students. We had a new breakout session this year with Open Hardware, a local research laboratory, (VISSER), brought their Arduinos and Raspberry Pis for demos. This is also the first time we had a Wikipedia editing session. We'll publish our full report soon. For now, here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/103152235@N05/sets/72157635916077155/ And our activities are posted here: http://2013.sfdphilippines.org/ We will have another Software Freedom Day tomorrow at a nearby city, south of the capital: http://olivarezcollegetagaytay.edu.ph/ Thank you very much to everyone at DFD for the team packs!
