[LINK] Fwd: Software Freedom Day, September 15th 2007

[Janet Hawtin]

Hi folks
Yes I think the school calendar has it as Friday 14 and SFD have it as
Saturday 15.
The calendar was done before the final date was announced. Given its a
world event there will be people around doing it on AUSunday too so I
guess its a bit of a stretched day. We will be doing it in Mt Gambier
and Mawson Lakes on the Saturday 15.
