Greetings from the Software Freedom Network!
We are cordially inviting you to participate in the celebration of Software Freedom Day (SFD) 2011 in the Philippines on September 17, 8:00am – 5:00pm at the University of Santo Tomas (UST). SFD is a yearly celebration of software freedom that aims to educate the public about the value and importance of software
freedom.
Free and open source software (FOSS) are free, high-quality alternatives to proprietary software ranging from your operating system to applications you would use at home, in business, education and other social purposes. The affordability and viablity of FOSS tools have important economic and social impacts especially in third world countries like the Philippines.
The FOSS community intends to share its role in advancing the Filipino people's right to freedom of information in this year's SFD celebration, with the theme "FOSS: Enabling Freedom of Information". The event will have parallel plenary sessions on topics and issues regarding FOSS in the morning, followed by
breakout sessions in the afternoon featuring introductory trainings on FOSS applications and concepts. Hundreds of teams worldwide celebrated SFD in 2010. Over 700 celebrants trooping to the University of the Phililppines Diliman Campus and around 1,500 pre-event celebrants in Lipa City College. And we are expecting more participants this year! Your full participation in the event would definitely contribute to this year's success.
The SFD 2011 network is composed of the Computer Professionals' Union as the main organizer, and the University of Sto. Tomas Computer Science Society as host organization. Partner organizations supporting the event are Junior Computer Professionals' Union, UP Network for Educational Technology, ACT Teachers, Office of Rep. Hon. Teddy Casiño, Taguig City University Developers Society, Polytechnic University of the Philippines Taguig Computer Society, Technological University of the Philippines Manila Computer Association, Philippine Blender Users Group, GroupAid, OpenStreetMap Philippines, Exist Global, DevCon, Wikimedia Philippines, Mozilla Firefox, and many more.
We are still accepting interested partner organizations.
Thank you very much, and thank you for your full participation. Let the world know that CHANGE is
FOSSible!
Yours in Service,
SFD Philippines Team
