Software Freedom Day 2009 will be held on Saturday September 19th – It is a celebration of free and open source software and the community behind it.

This FREE event is held “simultaneously” around the world and will showcase the best that the free and open source software (FOSS) community has to offer, including live demonstrations of;

• Free applications such as WordPress, Drupal and Moodle that offer incredible functionality
• Free email and internet software such as Thunderbird and Mozilla
• Business productivity alternatives such as OpenOffice
• Linux and related operating system software

Guest speakers will also present on a wide range of topics, relevant to those who deal with technology in business, education, non-profits and community development.

Software Freedom Day 2009 hosts are friendly, speak in non-technical terms and will be happy to assist you to learn more about free and open source applications and software.
