Software Freedom Day 2013, in Boston

At this year's Software Freedom Day, we will be talking about privacy, government transparency and user freedoms online. You'll hear updates from local groups and voices from the wider free software movement. Expect learning, celebrating and plenty of networking. This event is free and open to the public!
