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.
The Software Freedom Day hackfest is hosted by SuperHappyDevHouse, One Laptop Per Child, and DigitalNZ - a chance to put the DigitalNZ APIs into action! Come hang out all day on our sofas, drink large amounts of coffee and work on your favourite piece of free and open source software.
Wellington has a growing community of makers who share a lot of the same principles as FOSS, using open source technology to create craft, sharing tools and skills when working on solutions to technical projects.
We will have a room set aside at Software Freedom DAy for makers, so come along and showcase your creations, whether they are gadgets or open source crafts, or work on something you've been dreaming up for months. Attendees will be expected to supply their own materials and tools.
