Software Freedom Day is a yearly, "worldwide celebration of Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the
worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in
education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short,
everywhere!"
It started as an installfest in 2004, and it's grown into a massive
international monster. (-:

9/17 OpenHatch hosts Software Freedom Day
Software Freedom Day is a free-of-cost, community-oriented event being
held in Cambridge, Massachusetts at 1000 Massachusetts Ave, from 10am -
5pm on September 17th. The goal of the event is to help people in the
Boston area recognize and join existing local free software-related
communities. If you've been trying to learn more about free software
generally, or have been wondering how to build up your free software
project, this event is for you!
Máirín Duffy from Red Hat and Fedora is our keynote speaker. Thanks to the
Free Software Foundation, Cambridge College and Open Invention Network for
their sponsorship! More details here,
