Today registration opens for Document Freedom Day 2014 events. This year the
campaign day is March 26th, when people who believe in fair access to
communications technology and Open Standards will again present, perform,
and
demonstrate. Event organisers can now register[1] on the re-launched
documentfreedom.org website.

Promotional packs with all new materials are now available for ordering[2],
including multilingual posters and leaflets, fliers, and stickers. New
t-shirts
are available from the online store[3], and introductory pages providing
examples of important standards[4], and the importance of interoperability
to
Universities[5], have been published.

"Last year, 60 inspiring community groups ran events communicating the
value of
Open Standards around the world" says Sam Tuke, Campaign Manager. "With
events
already planned in Brazil, Brussels, Venezuela and elsewhere, we're aiming
at 75
in 2014".

"Greater focus this year has been on fresh materials, new educational
leaflets,
fliers, cartoons and stickers" says Erik Albers, Community Manager. "By
providing new localised materials for our passionate event organisers, we're
enabling new ways for them to  deliver messages of interoperability".

Funding is available for groups organising events or prizes for this year's
campaign[6], and the team is aiming to extend it's reach beyond the 30
countries
which celebrated Document Freedom last year[7], and looking forward to
receiving
new registrations over coming days. The campaign is made possible by
campaign
sponsors Freiheit, and Google[8].

== About Document Freedom Day ==

   Document Freedom Day (DFD) campaigns to celebrate information
   accessibility and introduce non-technical audiences to Open Standards.
   Open Standards are a basic condition for freedom and choice in
   software; ensuring the freedom to access data, and the freedom to
   build Free Software to read and write information. Started in 2008,
   the campaign last year had 54 events worldwide. It will happen on 27th
   March.
