Hi SFD'ers,

The season is open on registering for Software Freedom Day, which is
happening this year on 19 September 2009. Check on our map
<http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/2009/map.shtml> [1] to see if a team
is registered near you - otherwise get yours together and register
<http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/register.html> [2]! (Don't forget
that you need to make your team wiki page on
http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams before registering)

The first 200 teams registered *before Friday 10 July* will receive an
SFD team pack including three SFD 2009 T-shirts, Ubuntu CDs, and a few
other bits and pieces to support your day - we'll keep you posted on
what's going into the pack. As usual, these packs are sent to teams all
over the world with support from our sponsors: Canonical
<http://www.ubuntu.com/> (the folks who bring you Ubuntu), Google
<http://code.google.com/> and DKUUG <http://www.dkuug.dk/> (with
additional help from Linode <http://www.linode.com/>, Zac-ware
<http://www.zac-ware.com/products/freeway/>, Linux Magazine
<http://www.linux-magazine.com/> and FSF <http://www.fsf.org/>).

If you haven't taken part before, learn how to run a new event from our
easy to read StartGuide <http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide> [3] -
and if you have any questions, just email info at sf-day.org
<mailto:info at sf-day.org>.

Good luck with your SFD 2009 preparations, and don't forget to pass the
message around and get more teams involved. We had over 550 teams last
year and are anticipating over 700 this year!

Thank you for connecting, creating and sharing!

Robert
President, Software Freedom International
