Celebrate Software Freedom Today

Posted by timothy on from the not-like-you-were-actually-busy-today dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's that time of the year again: when we all unite regardless of the (free) licenses we cherish and go out into the streets to let people know how Free Software has changed our lives. With over 425 events in 80+ countries, communities as diverse as Joomla!, FreeBSD and The OpenDisc, to name just a few, will be celebrating all over the world. Don't wait; grab your best arguments and join the wild masses of freedom lovers to the software freedom parties. Where will you be partying today?"

    Why not have it on weekdays when most people don't have dates, wild parties or bar nights to check out the girls? What were they thinking?

    People planning Software Freedom Day parties with Google Maps. Maybe they'll send invitations by sharing MS Word documents on Facebook too...

    Richard Stallman had a printer,
    whose code he could not see.
    So he began to tinker,
    And set the software free.
