Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal is to educate the people around the world about the benefits of using FOSS in education, in government, at home and everywhere else. So wear your favorite FOSS t-shirts, burn a couple of disks of your favorite distro to give away and tell the world how FOSS is the wave of the future!

And thanks to all the people who made all this great software possible. Imagine a world without it...we'd have Microsoft bar codes tattooed on our heads.

And a DRM chip embedded in your brain.

Quoting: ... bar codes tattooed on our heads
Too crude, radio identification tags are coming down in price and will do it better.

Again fear mongering. With the new brian implants you will be the property.

Happy thoughts all,

Happy thoughts are not allowed. Happy thoughts lead to the realization of unhappy thoughts. Unhappy thoughts lead you to question The System, and thus The Owner. Only emotionless complacency is allowed. All other thoughts are a violation of The Owner's IP rights and will be stopped by the DRM implants. Your purpose is only to work for the profit of The Owner.

@techiem2 Until of course you die by BSOD.

SFD in Portales, NM

ColonelPanik ·
SFD was celebrated at the ENMU Campus Union Bldg.

Portales is not located in any "Tech Corridor" In fact all of Eastern New Mexico is a technological black hole.

There were just a few visitors, but they were way cool and some of them will be on hand for the birth of our Linux Community. We reached many more people just getting the word out about the event. The Colonel and his trusty sidekick Mark learned a whole lot about doing this kind of event. Start earlier, work harder, would be my first thought.

Next New Mexico event: New Mexico GNU/Linux Fest Free (As In Freedom) Software Conference and Expo

December 19th 2009, Albuquerque http://www.newmexicognulinuxfest.org/
