- L. Michaels # Software Freedom Day 2025 - What's going on! # 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. Thanks to [Linux Italia](https://www.linuxday.it/2025/) combining their events with ours and all the others groups that participated this year, we have over 100 events on the map. There's still time left in 2025 to add your own event to the map. Please join us next year as well and help us reach even more people and locations. --- ## Opening Video for SFD 2025 **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.
