From their website: On August 28, 2004, we will celebrate the first annual Software Freedom Day. On that day, we will make the world aware of the virtues of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), and encourage its widespread use. We will set up stations in public places to give away informational fliers and CDs with selected FOSS, including TheOpenCD and a Linux Live CD. This is a global grassroots marketing campaign in which we are inviting volunteers from around the world to participate. It will be up to the individual teams to chose how they wish to organize their local PR efforts. We will assist with bulk production of supplies, though the cost of supplies must be distributed. http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ One of the participants is the International Open Source Network, an initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and a Center of Excellence for Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) in the Asia-Pacific Region. http://www.iosn.net/ -- Michael Olan Associate Professor of Computer Science Richard Stockton College Pomona, NJ 08240 ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
