The New York celebratory event will be held this year at ITP, NYU's school for the Interactive Telecommunications Program, located at 721 Broadway (between 8th Street & Washington Place.) As in previous years this will be a celebration of the merits and successes of free software, with food & drinks and a short program of speakers. This is also a "hack friendly" event; we will have 2 large breakout rooms so bring your laptop to demonstrate a project you're working on or engage in informal collaboration. At 8:00 pm there will be a short program including presentations. Scheduled speakers include: - James Vasile of the Software Freedom Law Center on "Free Software vs Censorship and Surveillance" - "Wikipedia Takes Manhattan=94 -- presented by Wikimedia NYC (following up on this afternoon=92s photo-walk departing Bowling Green at 3pm, and arriving at ITP at 7pm) - Jon Stanley on the Fedora project - Occupy <3s Open Source -- presented by TechOps<http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/TechOps> of the NYCGA (NYC General Assembly) as well as short talks on other free software projects and distributions. After this program there will be a reception, including a key signing.

Not mentioned below is that that same day there will also be an Occupy Town Square in Washington Square from 11am-7pm with lots of diversions. Don't worry - the police riot is not scheduled until Monday.. And one of Occupy's best will present at the Software Freedom shindig so even if you can't make the town square you can still get in on the 99% action! - joly ** joly posted: "Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) that has occurred annually since 2004.
