Education Freedom Day registration launched!

We have just opened Education Freedom Day registration, scheduled on March 21st, 2015. For its second edition EFD has been moved to March to facilitate its celebration in both the south of the planet and China (at least…) and we hope to cater to more events this year.

As usual for all our Freedom celebrations the process is similar, you get together and decide to organize an event, then create a page in our wiki and register your team. As the date approaches you get to put more information in your wiki page (or on your organization website which is linked from the wiki) such as the date and time, the location and what people can expect to see.

Education Freedom Day is really the opportunity to review all the available Free Educational Resources available, how they have improved since last year and what you should start planning to implement to deploy in the coming months. More importantly it is the celebration of what is available and letting people aware of it!

So prepare well and see you all in two months to celebrate Education Freedom Day!

Celebrate EFD with us on March 21, 2015!

30 years of FSF

After an exciting weekend celebrating Hardware Freedom Day what could possibly be better than going back to the very inspiring video made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Free Software Foundation? Indeed it’s been made using Free Software only and goes through the work of the foundation for the past thirty years. It’s actually nice to look at, positive and very well animated. We will definitely encourage all our software freedom day teams to use it during their events. But let us say no more and let you enjoy it if you’ve missed it so far:

And then, for the ones into this kind of work, and blender in particular, you can find a detailed explanation of the challenges that the makers of the work went through and how they fixed them right here. Definitely a great read into the whole process from design to finish. Great job guys! And of course a happy 30th anniversary to the FSF from the Digital Freedom Foundation and all its members!

Happy Hardware Freedom Day

hfd-banner2For its third edition Hardware Freedom Day got closer to the holiday season and we hope everyone who took a first step into the world of Open Hardware will use this opportunity to come and meet passionate people who spend their time (or most of it) in hackerspaces or toy with with concept of Free Software and Open Hardware. As usual we have the same strong sponsors as every year such as Google, Canonical, the Free Software Foundation, Linode, all our supporters and the additional support of Lulzbot since 2014 who makes fully Free 3D printers!
So wait no longer and join us to celebrate Hardware Freedom Day in your area!
