Hi all, Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a little less than a month away, and I'm excited to hear about what plans you guys have for your local cities. I also want to give you some free stickers, so keep on reading!
EVENTS TO ATTEND! The official SFD site has US events listed in Chicago and Rochester, NY, and there's even an event scheduled for Kitchner, Canada: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2014 I know that there are several events planned that are not yet up on the map, including events in the D.C. libraries and in Philadelphia, PA, so the total number listed will grow in the coming weeks. WANT TO PROMOTE LIBREOFFICE AT AN EVENT? Promoting LibreOffice is easy, and to make it even more fun, we're going to provide a packet of LibreOffice and Document Liberation Project stickers to anyone in the US or Canada who is promoting LibreOffice at an SFD event. Here's How: 1) If there's no event in your area, sign up on the http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ site and register your team and event. The SFD wiki has a lot of great ideas about what kinds of events you can run, like having a meetup at your local library! 2) List the event on the TDF Wiki page for SFD 2014: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/Software_Freedom_Day Are you going to give a talk about LibreOffice? Are you going to show people how easy it is to join our community? Are you going to talk to people about why you use LibreOffice? Tell us your plans! 3) Email me I'll send you a packet of our stickers...and perhaps a few stickers for other Free Software projects as well! 4) After the event, make a blog post and share some pictures of the event! Making a blog post and sharing some pictures helps us to promote LibreOffice to an even wider audience. SFD is just a single day, but we can continue to promote LibreOffice year-round! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Let's get out there and promote Free Software to people across the US and Canada! You already know how great it is, so take some time on September 20th and share the beauty of LibreOffice and Free Software with some of your friends and neighbors. Make to register your event *early* so you have time to advertise and the stickers have time to get to you!
