Software Freedom Day (SFD) 2009 is approaching - it is time to organise creative actions and events and get ready to celebrate Free and Open Source Software and Technologies on the 19th of September 2009!

Pia Waugh, President of SFI - 2007 describes SFD as "a global celebration and education of why transparent and sustainable technologies are now more important than ever." http://softwarefreedomday.org/SoftwareFreedom

You can join one of the many SFD-groups in existance or create your own actions. So, how do you best get started if you want to engage:  

  • STEP 1: Put Saturday 19 September 2009 in your diary.

  • STEP 2: Check out the map on the SFD site to see if there's a team in your area.

  • STEP 2a: If there isn't a team, register your own 

  • STEP 3: Get out on the streets and celebrate software freedom! 

    ict@innovation will shortly publish more information on what the programme and its supporting organisations are planing on the day. So keep an eye out for further updates here.
