Our local Linux Users Group used to participate ever year in Software Freedom Day. I've volunteered at the local event several times and done publicity for it. Unfortunately, our users group disbanded last year. I really miss celebrating SFD and showing others what interesting Open Source software is available to them. No other groups in our area participated in Software Freedom Day last year. I decided to try to run a Software Freedom Day event of my own this year and see if any former Linux Users Group members would be willing to help out. I've contacted our local library to reserve a room.
Would like to know how to get the event added to the SFD event map for 2017. Is there anything I need to do in coordination with the SFD web site/project to make our event official? Any suggestions for holding a successful event would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi!
Well it's nice to read all this. I guess we sometimes go through similar situation over time, I know I have. The 2017 SFD wiki is ready (and has been ready since April IIRC) but the map registration is not. Let us complete this task by the end of the week.
We'll post an announcement once it is complete.
On the other things to do I would say maybe contact the local press and school. I know we've always partnered with local universities and colleges wherever I am located and you sometimes get to met teachers very interested in FOSS (and students for sure). Sometimes there are also local companies deploying FOSS internally and those are very good showcases (if you get to know/find them).
Maybe others will want to chime in as well.
Thank you and happy SFD!
