Software Freedom Day is a global, grassroots effort to educate the public about the importance of software freedom and the virtues and availability of Free and Open Source Software. Local teams from all over the world organise events on the third Saturday in September. The most recent event involved over 200 teams from all over the world.

I have registered a group for the Birmimgham, UK area. Because I registered before the 31st July I was able to get some free CD's, stickers and T-shirts to help with promoting the day.
I hope to get a group of like minded individuals together, to go out on Saturday 15th September, in a prominent spot in Birmingham City Centre, to give away free CD's, stickers and talk about Free and Open Source software.
I have created a wiki page on the SFD's website, linky. I have never organised anything like this before, so any and all help is gratefully needed.
If you have ideas, email me with them or post them on the wiki.
Thanks, and see you on the 15th September.
