Software Freedom Day
Hey Everyone,
Software Freedom Day is 25 September. See: http://softwarefreedomday.org/
There’s been a seeming lack of excitement about it. In other years, for instance, many geolocal AOO communities would work with the SFD locals. This year… not so much. Why is that? Have your communities contacted them at SFD? Or vice versa?
Perhaps we ought to make something out of it? Normally, that can simply be having a meet-up, posting a banner—SFD has suggestions.

I do not think this a matter of how long you have been involved, I have
been involved a lifetime (35+) and first noticed it now.
Maybe SFD should start be creating awareness of itself :-)

I guess it's like Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day or Grandparents' Day.
Everyone ought to remember, respect and appreciate them every day, but
those specially marked days drive awareness of all that they bring to our
lives.
Thus, SFD would publicize and increase awareness of the benefits of FOSS.
This is the first time that I have heard of SFD, though, but then, I have
not been actively involved in any FOSS community until recently.

Many greetings,
