= Event Summary = * Similar to previous years, an evening of socializing with snacks and drinks, including a short program of speakers and presentations with large breakout rooms available for collaboration and sharing. = Full Event Description = The 5th annual Software Freedom Day NYC will take place on Saturday September 15, 2012 from 6:30-10:00 pm. The New York celebratory event will be held this year at ITP, NYU's school for the Interactive Telecommunications Program, located at 721 Broadway (between 8th Street & Washington Place.) As in previous years this will be a celebration of the merits and successes of free software, with food & drinks and a short program of speakers.
