Hoping there will be an event in Christchurch. If you would like to see one, sign up to the Gnuz mailing list (http://mailhub.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/gnuz)

Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The principles behind FOSS are underpinned by the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. You can read more about the four freedoms on the GNU website.

Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business - in short, everywhere!
