Subject: [SFD-announce] Celebrate Software Freedom Day today!
To: SFD announcements <sfd-announce на sf-day.org>


*Free and Open Source Software* has come a long way since its inception and
while we're celebrating *SFD for the twelth time*, the FSF
<http://www.fsf.org> is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Every software
company now tends to use Free and Open Source Software but unfortunately
that has just set the Software more as a commodity with very little benefit
for advocacy, education or awareness. And so, in a world with Free Software
used almost everywhere very few people notice or even care.

Software Freedom Day <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org> is here to tell
people why we need to remind ourselves of the importance of Software
Freedom and to *get all the communities together to celebrate* and
introduce their philosophy to newcomers. Probably more than ever we need to
go out and demonstrate the great many things that *Free Software has done
and enables everyone to do*.

As usual events are listed on the SFD Map
<http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2015> and should
there be no event in your area you can always get together and run one in
the upcoming few weeks. On top of all the good things Free Software brings
we would also like to remind people that a good way to get started can be
through Outreachy, a remote internships in Free and Open Source Software
<http://www.outreachy.org> open to everyone regardless of their origins or
differences. The *next round of internships is from December 7 to March 7*
with applications *deadline on November 2*. This is of course ideal for
students in the south hemisphere as the program requires you to be
available 40 hours a week but also for anyone either looking for a career
change or applies what he/she has learned in a real software environment.

With all these years of experience we are sure your events will shine. And
if you're a little short of ideas you can always refer to our resources.
<http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources> One of note could be the latest
Blender movie released end of August <https://gooseberry.blender.org/>
maybe followed by a discussion of how the Blender Foundation has been so
successful over the years.

Finally we would like to *thank all the people making SFD possible* and
that is *our sponsors* like the Google Open Source Programs Office
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/>, Linode <http://www.linode.com>,
the Free Software Foundation <http://www.fsf.org> and our various *supporters
in the media and community arena*. But of course *more importantly all the
various Free Software communities* from Google Developer Groups to Free
Software Groups, GNU/Linux User Groups and the various universities
interested in Free Software among them.

So,
*Happy Software Freedom Day to all of you! *


*Digital Freedom Foundation. *
