Hello, we meet monthly at the South Library ICT lab, 66 Colombo St, to share/discuss/promote/support FOSS.
SFD has been our annual larger FOSS promotion day since we started in 2004, as Team Christchurch SFD.

Do come say hi on 19 Sept from 10am and learn about software freedom, with Free and Open-Source Software!
SFD20 Event Report
* We significantly grew Software Freedom Day attendance on that of the previous two years, which had been absolute minimal.
* We combined the activities of two community tech groups (one old, one new from 2020) to do this.
* We discussed and planned systems for increased ongoing activity, combined.
* We recognised the necessity to implement and focus on online conferencing capacity, as a constant feature of our meetings, e.g. https://bigbluebutton.org / http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/VideoConferencing etc (viz covid-19 limits and global convenience).
* We acknowledged the significance of Minecraft culture as recreational, educational and social connecting tool, of interest for all age groups.
* We planned towards growing meetings and adoption of a Hytale culture, to improve upon Minecraft within two years, for SFD22: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hytale + https://hytale.com
