Software Freedom Day is closing in... 2 weeks to go, and we'll be celebrating Digital Freedoms everywhere around the world! In the past, people have asked for swag and stickers. So we decided to send out a surprise to the early signups for our event and print some stickers. The stickers we printed are all in English, but with the design made available, you can print them with the text in your own language!
