SFD Competition 2007

The 2007 Software Freedom Day competition was largely based around the best Software Freedom Day events from around the world! Teams had to prepare and submit an entry and in 2007 we received some amazing submissions. Below are both the top 3 winners as well as some highly commended entries.

All these entries represent incredible efforts to take Software Freedom to the general public and the Software Freedom International board thanks all participants for their efforts. Thank you! You do your countries, and our community proud!

Many thanks also to the sponsors of our 3 One Laptop Per Child computers, Google and OLPC, which will be sent to the 3 winners. All winners and highly commended participants will receive certificates.

SFD Nicaragua 2007 Team

This was a first time event for the SFD Nicaragua Team, and they pulled off an incredible event with only one and a half months planning! They had great press coverage, including TV and radio interviews, blog coverage, four pre-SFD events, flyers and more! The schedule was packed with speakers (including speakers as young as 12), video, great FOSS demonstrations, and an installfest. The event really involved people of all ages. Over 500 people attended the event, and the attendance was very broad. The event grew support for and interest in the local FOSS groups, and gained attention from schools that could use FOSS to help their students. An amazing job SFD Nicaragua! Especially given it is your first event!
