Let’s hear directly from Software Freedom Day itself, as we amplify their vision and message to inspire action worldwide.
Software Freedom Day is an international effort to inform people about software freedom…the ability to use and change software to meet your needs instead of purchasing commercial software and using it.
Started by Matt Oquist in the early 2000s it rapidly grew into an worldwide community effort. In this video Matt talks about how he originated the idea and how he and his friends made it happen.

Hi Linux Professional Institute,
I am organizing the first Software Freedom Day in our area. I wanted to make this event a platform to connect diverse people and celebrate the Free and Open Source Software.
As of the moment, I am in the stage of building up the pieces to make this event happen in our area. I know LPI can be a great contributor to the success of this event, as I have seen in the past events that I’ve joined (the FOSSASIA Summit 2025 and COSCUP 2025).
Best regards,
Paul
Thanks, Paul!
