Software Freedom Day

Details

Join us at our annual celebration of free software. This year's schedule includes talks on: free software for smart phones, protecting your privacy, how to contribute to free software (you don't need to be a techie), and how to make money with free software.

Beginners, experts and everyone in between are welcome to this free event!

Interested in giving a lightning talk? We'd love to hear from you.

Light breakfast and lunch provided by our sponsors. We will have vegan and gluten-free options too. Thank you RedHat and Akamai!

The after-party will be at Hitwicket ( http://www.hitwicketbar.com/ ) at 1172 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, starting around 5:30pm. Note, drinks and food purchases at Hitwicket are on your own.
