I totally agree :) Have you registered your event yet? Registrations are
open and I don't see a Tassie event yet :)

Registrations are open at:

Rock on for Software Freedom Day as our major outreach effort [1], and please
everyone, stop feeding the troll ;)

Cheers,

[1] I am of course biased as the current President of Software Freedom
International, the team behind Software Freedom Day, however I really do
believe it is having a massive impact with over 80 countries participating
and over 200 teams. It is done on a shoestring budget and already is having
a massive impact right across the world!
