Software Freedom Day Pretoria, South Africa
Software Freedom Day (SFD) is an event held all over the world to celebrate and raise awareness of free and open source software. Our aim for SFD 2010 is to engage with and encourage personal computer users, local businesses, schools, government bodies and other groups to use free software and promote the philosophy. We provide a friendly and accessible community to learn about and discuss free software.
