Please join us in bringing some of the Software Freedom Day celebration and advocacy to the LibrePlanet wiki, to build a resource and meeting place that will last throughout the year. Saturday, September 18th is Software Freedom Day, a worldwide celebration of user freedom.

September 15, 2007 is going to be celebrated the world over as Software Freedom Day(SFD). SFD is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).

What do you plan to do on this year’s Software Freedom Day? I plan to do the following in the coming days leading up to September 15:

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.

" The idea of open source is that allowing users to change and redistribute the software will make it more powerful and reliable. But this is not guaranteed. Developers of proprietary software are not necessarily incompetent. Sometimes they produce a program which is powerful and reliable, even though it does not respect the users’ freedom.

Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about of the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere!

Freedom Socks, free from the ground up!! A podcast about GNU/Linux and free software in general. In this sixth sockload of freedom, we decide last weeks episode never happened, turn into GNU/Freedom nutters, go over the news, unleash even more hate than usual.

"... «I ask you to please always call it Free Software because that way you will encourage other people to pay attention to the question of freedom. The term Open Source was formulated by people who did not want to talk about freedom and that is the stupidest thing any people can do.

According to a statement issued by Zyxware Technologies, a vending machine that can be used to copy and distribute free and open source software has been made possible due to the freedom associated with free software. Free software allows people to use, study, modify and share software without any restrictions.

"Copyleft is a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well. The simplest way to make a program free software is to put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded.
