Welcome to Software Freedom Day 2025.
I'll be posting highlights from the day as well as information about ongoing events here. I'll also share ways you can participate even if you don't have a local SFD 2025 event. Want more in depth chatter about Software Freedom Day? Join the #SoftwareFreedomDay channel on Matrix for live conversations.
If you or your group is participating in SFD 2025, please send me links to any multimedia you want to share related to your events. I'll be adding highlights from events this year to this page. Also, please post information about Software Freedom Day to the social media channels you participate in using the #SFD2025 and #SoftwareFreedomDay2025 hashtags. The DFF will boost any related posts they say with those tags.
Here's the opening talk for Software Freedom Day 2025. It's a video on the Early Beginnings of Software Freedom Day:

While the board members and teams have changed over the years, one thing has not. Our love of Free Software has remained a constant in all the SFD events over the years.
I'd like to start things off by offering some lists of Free Software resources. Feel free to share them with others.
For people who can't install software on their computers but would like to try out FOSS projects, Libre Projects has a list of online FOSS:
https://libreprojects.net/
It's an older project that hasn't been updated recently but it still has some nice suggestions.
Here's a list of FLOSS educational games I put together:

Some of them can even be played online for Software Freedom Day. If you have suggestions for other educational Free Software I may have missed, please send them to me.
AI has been a very hot topic. So here's a list I've been maintaining on C/C++ FLOSS machine learning related libraries and resources:

You can also check out a completely FLOSS and privacy friendly AI implementation from OpenEd Tech:

Plus, you can try chatting with it live on Matrix:
