[FSF] Software Freedom Day this Saturday, September 20th!

[Deborah Nicholson]

Hi, 
This is a reminder about Software Freedom Day this Saturday, September
20th. Software Freedom Day is an international holiday that is observed
all over the world. 

Here in Boston the FSF is hosting an event at Encuentro 5 in Chinatown.
The day starts off at 10 am and we'll begin with a keynote from Aaron
Swartz of watchdog.net who will talk about how he used free software to
free information. After that we'll move into workshops for both the
experienced and the not-yet-experienced, including demos on graphics
software and hacking mobile devices. After lunch we'll be watching
Stephen Fry's video about free software and holding Lightning Talks,
when you might get a chance to address the crowd. 

Saturday, September 20th -- 10am-4pm

If you aren't near Boston, you can check
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org to see if an event is planned near
you. If nothing's already happening near you, you may want to host a
showing of Stephen Fry's video explaining free software yourself. It's
been translated into 24 different languages, so you can spread the
message of free software far and wide, http://www.gnu.org/fry/

Happy Software Freedom Day!
Cheers,
