You can imagine how excited we are around here to celebrate Software Freedom Day with friends around the world on Sept. 20th. Over 500 teams in over 90 countries are participating. We have events in over 130 campuses as well! Please join us.

Did you that Sun has committed to open source software by contributing billions of dollars in developer time, sponsorships and donations, as well as releasing more code under open source licenses than any other organization in the world? Yahtzee!

So why open source?

-global public collaboration

-extensive access regardless of economics

-enhances communities (software for schools, emerging economies)

-combines diversity of approaches and skills

-promotes open innovation and transparency

-decreases walled gardens

Why do YOU love open source? How can it Change (Y)our World?

Hello!

We are so excited here because Software Freedom Day 2008 is coming up on September 20th. Sun will be celebrating events with our open source communities worldwide. We believe in freedom and sharing, so together on this day, we will encourage the free use and benefits of open source software. There will be installfests, product demonstrations, give aways, and seminars. I can't think of anything more fun! With more than 300+ teams in 65+ countries already planning local events, there is likely an event near you. See where and how Sun is celebrating here. It's easy to join and get involved.

See you all there!
