This year Software Freedom Day has some outstanding events planned around the world. There is increased support in Government, education and the industry in helping take software freedom to the masses!

September 15th marks Software Freedom Day, the world's largest celebration and outreach effort about why transparent and sustainable technologies like Free & Open Source Software are so important. Community groups in more than 80 countries organise local activities and programs on Software Freedom Day to educate the wider public about free software: what it is, how it works and its relationship to human rights and sustainability. We already have over 140 teams around the world registered: join them in spreading the word! Registrations for Software Freedom Day teams that want to receive a free SFD team pack close in two weeks, so register now!

With less than a month before its kick-off, organisers of the world-renowned linux.conf.au will this week announce the final keynote speaker, who is also set to represent a shift in the traditional technical focus of the event.

The linux.conf.au 2007 Call For Particiation is open for only one more month! Get your talks, papers and miniconf proposals in soon. Go ahead and do it!

All the details are below. Good luck and we look forward to getting some excellent submissions for lca2007.

One week left to register your Software Freedom Day teams for free stuff! Let's look at why Software Freedom matters now more than ever!

In an increasingly digital age more and more of our everyday lives are based on technology. How we interact with each other, enjoy different media, vote, get paid, and even navigate our roads. Technology underpins our very way of life, our basic freedoms such as freedom of association, freedom of thought, freedom of choice and much more, yet many people do not realise the importance of transparent and sustainable technologies, what we call Software Freedom.

Software Freedom Day is proud to announce a fantastic competition to get those creative juices going! With Software Freedom Day only a few months away, on September 16th, we have some excellent prizes to help inspire you to create the best Software Freedom Day ever!
