Welcome to the site of Digital Freedoms

Welcome Friend of Digital Freedoms!

Maybe you organized Software Freedom Day, Hardware Freedom Day, Document Freedom Day in the past. Maybe you even organized Culture Freedom Day or Education Freedom Day. Or maybe you're here for the very first time. Whatever is the case, be welcome on our site.

If you created an account, it probably was because you want to organize an event in the near future, or you want to edit an existing event.

Here are a few important pages:

• Create an account or log in to contribute.
• Log in to add an event to the map.
• Under the content on the site, you can always give comments.
• Did you find a mistake? Copy the link and report it to the webmasters. We'll try to fix it ASAP.
• Did you help organize an event in the past, and would you want to edit the content? Copy the link and report it to the webmasters.

Some base rules

• This site is welcoming to everyone. To keep it this way, you're also expected to respect others.

You're fabulous! Thanks for submitting your event to our calendar.

Be patient now... one of the moderators will review your submission. We don't want our calendar filled with spam and junk. In a few days you can expect your event to be visible on the site.

Just a few pointers I'd like to give you:

• You can still edit the event afterwards, so don't hesitate to place links to recordings if these should come available at some point.

Individual Donations

You can financially support the Digital Freedom Foundation (DFF) by making one-time or recurring donations in your own currency. Just like the power of Free Software, we believe in the importance of small contributions to keep us independent and thriving.

Support the Local Teams!

Cryptocurrency

We're in the process of setting up a wallet and donation portal for cryptocurrency contributions. If you want to donate some crypto, get in touch with us!

Outreach

Are you part of an active community? Spread the word about Software Freedom Day and our mission! Do you have an important event or website that shares our values? We'll share a link on our supporters page.
