Huion is generously supporting the Software Freedom Day (SFD) 2024 by donating a Kamvas 12 Pro for the main prize and two Inspiroy H950P tablets for runners-up in a graphics challenge. The challenge invites participants worldwide to create original artwork using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) on the theme of digital autonomy and freedom. Entries must be submitted by October 10, 2024, and adhere to specific guidelines, including using only FOSS tools and sharing the source files under Creative Commons licenses.

Huion’s participation highlights their commitment to digital freedom and creativity, encouraging artists to explore and express these values through their art.

In April, Jurgen gave a talk on LibrePlanet. It tries to give a summary of the past 20 years of Software Freedom Day and tells the direction the movement wants to go in.

Yeah sure... I would like to organize Software Freedom Day. Only, there's this one thing stopping me...

Let's face it: while talks and workshops are informative, they can sometimes get a bit dry and boring. But Software Freedom Day (SFD) doesn't have to be a snooze-fest! Here are ten lively and engaging ways to inject fun and excitement into your SFD celebrations, whether you're planning a grand event or a cozy get-together.

It all started out of my curiosity, as I began to research operating systems. So, I took the liberty of contacting the people who were talking about free software in Bogotá, Colombia. One of the few that wanted to talk about this was Professor Luis Eduardo Cano. That day, he arrived at the cafeteria with a friend and Professor Luis Alejandro Bernal. We had a great afternoon, drank coffee and ate cake, and talked for hours. At the end they invited me to visit the free software community, which at that time did not even have a physical location, as we met in downtown Bogotá at a café-bar.
