Hi all,
Software Freedom International will be doing a press release early next week about SFD 2008 (as will several of our sponsors). I wanted to give the community a chance to:
a) post to the list any amazing preparations, or expectations for the event. Any big names participating, or Government announcements?
b) give everyone a chance to update their event pages before we get some press. We already are seeing a much greater build up of website interest this year than last year, and it looks like we may hit 500 teams this year, with over 400 already registered and many more expected!
c) do your own press releases. We are almost 2 weeks out, so get out to the local radio, newspapers, and other media for the final build up of interest and participation!
Thanks all and happy planning!
Cheers, Pia
