The 5th annual Software Freedom Day NYC will take place on Saturday

September 15, 2012 from 7-10 pm.

The New York celebratory event will be held this year at ITP (NYU's

school for the Interactive Telecommunications Program) located at 721

Broadway (between 8th Street & Washington Place.)

As in previous years this will be a celebration of the merits and

successes of free software, with food & drinks and a short program of

speakers. This is also a "hack friendly" event; we have 2 large

breakout rooms so bring your laptop to demonstrate a project you're

working on or engage in informal collaboration.

At 8:30 pm there will be a short program including presentations.

Tentatively scheduled are:

Freedom Box -- presented by James Vasille of the Software Freedom Law Center

"Wikipedia Takes Manhattan” -- presented by Wikimedia NYC (following

up on this afternoon’s photo-walk departing Bowling Green at 3pm, and

arriving at ITP at 7pm)

Occupy <3s Open Source -- presented by TechOps of the NYCGA (NYC

General Assembly)

as well as short talks on leading free software projects and distributions.

After this program there will be a reception, including, of course, a

key signing.

Sounds good!  The link in the page for "Full SFD NYC Event Announcement" is broken, though.

Thanks,
Guy
