Hey all,

I've been hearing sounds from people already prepping for Software Freedom Day - and doing crazy stuff again. Also seeing small teams taking their first steps organizing something something cozy. Both are great!

During the last 48 hours, the website has been down due to some technical issues. These are resolved.

If you intended to register your event for Software Freedom Day — the site is back up now.

Also, don't forget to spread the word with artists as they can win a nice Huion Tablet in our artist challenge. Last year we had 3 entries for 3 prizes — so don't hold back. Everyone can be an artist.

Did you see the great swag ideas Chris created for this year? They all come with SVG-files so you can translate them to your local language too!

Ah... and as a small sneak preview — swag is ordered this year for interested teams. The first 25 teams who register their event, can apply for free swag (or volunteer chip in a bit too). Hurry up, 15 events are registered already! And shipping will happen on August 20th so everybody gets their swag in time. Thanks to the Linux Professional Institute (LPI - lpi.org) for sponsoring for the swag.
