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.
