About Software Freedom Day

On August 28, 2004, we will celebrate the first annual Software Freedom 
Day. On that day, we will make the world aware of the virtues of Free 
and Open Source Software (FOSS), and encourage its widespread use. We 
will set up stations in public places to give away informational fliers 
and CDs with selected FOSS, including TheOpenCD and a Linux Live CD.

But if you cannot physically hand out CDs, you can easily join a 
BitTorrent swarm.  For a list of FLOSS available for Windows, Mac OS/X, 
and Linux via BitTorrent, including TheOpenCD and Knoppix 3.6, visit:

Or do both: join a swarm and hand out CDs.
