Congratulations to these teams, and many thanks to Subir, Leandro and Holden for leading their events and telling the world about their how it went!
Each winning team will be receiving a prize of a *pair of OLPC laptops*<http://laptop.org/> .
The winning entries were selected for the scope of their SFD activities, the number of people reached (particularly from the wider, non-technical community) and the quality of the reporting. However we received many high quality entries - a total of almost fifty submissions - and special mention also goes to:
- Guyana (team leader Vidyaratha Kissoon) - team report<http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/centralandsouthamerica/guyana> - Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society (Dev Anand Teelucksingh) - team report <http://www.ttcsweb.org/articles/sfd2008/index.htm> - freeIT (team leader Mylene Sereno) - team report<http://mylenesereno.blogspot.com/2008/09/software-freedomday-08-gensan.html>
Thank you to all teams (over 500 teams in almost 90 countries) for their efforts in making SFD 2008 such a great success, and don't forget to put Saturday 19 Septermber 2009 in your calendars! To make sure you don't miss out on registration, make sure that you are subscribed to the SFD-announce mailing list <http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-announce>.
