Software Freedom Day to be marked

Over 300 groups from 60+ countries will participate in the fourth annual Software Freedom Day on September 15 to showcase the excellent range of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and demonstrate how it can be used to save money and gain freedom in every sector of the information society.

The local volunteer communities are organising events ranging from simple meetings, awareness campaigns, musical concerts, interactions and skill sharing sessions on FOSS being organised by Yala Maya Kendra with support from various educational institutions, government, civil society, media, and FOSS IT communities.

This is the third year that Nepal is celebrating Software Freedom Day (SFD). This year's theme has been chosen as 'Linux for Desktops'. nepalnews.com ia Sep 03 07
