[Lib-helig-l] Document Freedom Day, 30 March 2011

Some of you may be interested>

Document Freedom Day (DFD) is a global day for document liberation.
March 30th will be a day of grassroots effort to educate the public
about the importance of Free Document Formats and Open Standards in
general.

Complementary to Software Freedom Day, we aim to have local teams all
over the world organise events on the last Wednesday of March. This is
the third year that Document Freedom Day is happening, and we are
again looking for people around the world who are willing to join the
effort.
DFD's main goals are:

* promotion and adoption of free document formats
* forming a global network
* coordination of activities that happen on last Wednesday of
March, Document Freedom Day
* Once a year, we will celebrate Document Freedom Day as a global
community. Between those days, DFD will be focused on facilitating
community action and building awareness for issues of Document Freedom
and Open Standards. We hope that you will join the DFD community.

Who's behind DFD?

Document Freedom Day (DFD) is organized with help of many different
players. It is a community effort that we put together every year.

All of them will help us to get the word out on DFD 2011, be it by
publishing articles about Open Standards, publicising the campaign,
writing posts for the DFD blog, or simply helping DFD by putting the
campaign icon on their website.

Document Freedom Day's success is also based on the commitment of
their teams of volunteers wordlwide, you can help them now: Get
Involved!
