Dear all,

It is with great pleasure that we're launching a redesign of our webiste. The wiki remains unchanged but the hit page of www.softwarefreedomday.org will now welcome new visitors with a much more engaging message, hopefully enticing them to join your events and/or do something about the celebration.

The site also features a redesigned team map which makes it a lot more integrated into the overall browsing experience (still need to converted 2005 and 2006 map data), a feed to our mailing list (the discussion one), a blog for board members to better keep everyone up to date.

you'll notice as well that the SFD 2010 competition has been announced and we're quite proud to have 3 MakerBots (YEAH!) to offer to the winning teams. So get your cameras, videos cameras, bloggers, micro-bloggers and everybody else ready to document your event. The competition rules have as well been published. There might be a few slight changes but it's basically similar every year.

Last but not least the 2009 competition results will be announced in the coming hours and those teams did the hell of a job! An inspiration for all of us!

Thanks for everyone who has helped to make this happen. Please report any dead link or issue with the site on the sfd-discuss mailing list.

Thank you and happy SFD!

Frederic Muller
