Editing SoftwareFreedomDay2007

== Generic Information ==
''[http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ Software Freedom Day] (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about of the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere! The non-profit company Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.''  (from the SFD site)

The [http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide SFD Start Guide] has tons of useful information.

SFD 2007 will be September 15.  [[User:Curlynoodle|Dave Kraus]] has [http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/northamerica/PA/wplug registered] a WPLUG team.  The discussion so far has centered around holding a CD distribution event, where we would give away Ubuntu CDs (and possibly TheOpenCD) and flyers describing Free Software and WPLUG.  Additionally, we may be able to set up demonstration laptops to let people try out Linux and ask questions.

=== TODO list ===
* Obtain CDs ([[User:Pwagstro|Patrick Wagstrom]] got about 100 Ubuntu CDs, and we should be getting more as part of our materials from Software Freedom International.  Perhaps people can submit additional requests to [https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ shipit] (or [http://www.ubuntu.com/files/u1/BulkCDOrderForm.pdf purchase] - though international shipping and duties may make this difficult).
