|
|
This year's DFD is approaching fast, and we can already say that we
|
|
will have had a good year: More than 30 events have been registered in
|
|
South-America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. However, both we and
|
|
you could do a lot better, and there is still time to register and
|
|
organise an event. North-America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia
|
|
desperately need more events. Also, while Central Europe is well
|
|
covered, Europe's western, eastern, and northern parts could do with
|
|
additional events. To organise an event, you can gather ideas from the
|
|
highlighted events below, or take a look at our
|

<h2>DFD conference in European Parliament</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Greens/EFA parliamentary group is organising a DFD conference with
|
|
speakers from the European Commission, FSFE, April, Calibre, Communia,
|
|
and Bookeen on the 28th of March. The conference will focus on Open
|
|
Standards in the e-book market.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>DFD prizes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On the 26th of March, FSFE will award the Slovak Committee for
|
|
Standardization of Information Systems of Public Administration to
|
|
recognize adoption of Open Standards for the entire Slovak public
|
|
administration. On the 31st of March, the city administration of
|
|
Arezzo, Italy will be awarded by the FSFE for their adoption of Open
|
|
Standards within the administration services and their communications
|
|
with the citizens.
|
|

|
|
|
<h2>Installation parties</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Several events include LibreOffice installation parties. We would
|
|
recommend all event organisers to make GNU/Linux and LibreOffice
|
|
installation media available along with technical support. However, if
|
|
the event you plan to attend does not include an installation party,
|
|
you can always ask one of the attendees using Free Software for help
|
|
with the installation: They are usually really nice people.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Other possible activities</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is also possible to post posters across your town or city, hand out
|
|
materials about Open Standards in your local library or school, give
|
|
talks on Open Standards and Free Software, write a piece about the DFD
|
|
for your local newspaper, or simply support DFD by attending an event.
|

|
Should you now have a nice idea about what to organise on the DFD,
|
|
contact <a href="http://documentfreedom.org/contact.en.html">the DFD team</a>,
|
|
and
|
|
we can offer you advice, limited financial support, and add your event
|
|
to the list.
