Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere! The non-profit company Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, ...but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities. The event targets people interested in FOSS technology and principles but also -mainly- people who don't have any background, don’t know anything about open source but are willing to learn about it. | ● to promote constructive dialogue on responsibilities and rights in the information society |
Line 27: | Line 25: |
We believe that providing the public with information about open source will increase the adoption of open source software and replace- to some extend - closed source software. | ● to be inclusive of organizations and individuals that share our Vision |
