The first annual Software Freedom Day will be held on August 28, 2004.

The Software Freedom Day initiative intends to make the world aware of the 
existence, availability, and high quality of Free and Open Source Software 
(FOSS), and to encourage its use by as many people as possible. It will be a 
global grassroots marketing campaign in which we are inviting volunteers from 
around the world to participate. We intend to give away informational fliers 
and CDs with selected FOSS, such as TheOpenCD or Knoppix, in public places on 
SFD. It will be up to the individual teams to chose how they wish to organize 
the PR effort locally, but we will assist with bulk production of posters, 
T-shirts, CDs and whatever else will be required. We will be asking for 
Sponsors to donate money and material goods and services to our effort, and 
will be inviting FOSS advocacy groups around the world to become our partners 
in this event. We hope you will join us too! Click here to read how you can 
get involved.
