Celebrate Software Freedom Day in Boston!
Save the date!
On the afternoon of September 15, 2007, the Free Software Foundation and
BinaryFreedom (http://binaryfreedom.info) are hosting a Software Freedom Day
(http://softwarefreedomday.org) event in downtown Boston.
Please bring your friends and join us for talks, activities and outreach in
support of software freedom. We'll be one node in a network of over 290 events
worldwide, and it's not often we get the chance to make that kind of splash.
It'll be a great chance to meet other hackers and activists in the area and to
make plans for how we can work for software freedom on a concrete, local level.
Let us know that you can come by emailing info@fsf.org, and keep up-to-date or
even help us plan the schedule at
http://groups.fsf.org/index.php/Boston_Software_Freedom_Day.
Date: Saturday, September 15, 2007
Time: 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location
Encountro5
33 Harrison Street, 5th floor
Boston, MA 02131
It's in Chinatown. There is a 200 person capacity.
