Software Freedom Day. It is a world-wide series of events to celebrate free software, and we're having one right here in New Jersey at Montclair State University.
It is held on the third Saturday of September world-wide, which his year is the 20th of September.
We're going to talk about what free software is, and why it's important for everyone.
What kind of software is available for your existing computer, and how you can extend the life of your computer by loading another OS on it. There will be a talk on self hosting, so that you can keep better control of your data. There will also be a talk on Social Networking with free software called "Mastodon and the Fediverse", there will also be talks on Wikipedia, and contrinuting to Free Software.
There is a huge variety of software out there, and we'd like to take some time to tell people about it. This is a community event, and we'd love to see people from all over come out!
