What can GNOME do? I would recommend issuing a news item talking about the software freedom day and maybe also collecting what will be going on. If GNOME related stuff goes on there could also be the chance to add some photos and links. Also GNOME could do something on this day, too like addressing the GNOME users and the people organizing those SFD events or doing an event of its own. I think if one follows the spirit of the SFD many things could be done. Also GNOMES regional groups could become active - I am sure there were already many GNOMErs involved - just that it was not mentioned. The SFD is not a centralised event but a distributed - so part of the idea to let people get creative and for GNOME itself helping them to do so. GNOME could also organize a bug squashing day or something like that. Or a rally for donations for the project, etc etc. Most hackers love technical solutions. Those can be helpful - but too often hackers also think that those solution will solve non-technical problems. So the calendar will be an improvement for sure. But I would hope that this wont be the end of the road.
