[hackerspaces] Software Freedom Day?

[Eric Chaney]

The Dallas Makerspace is hosting it's 4th Software Freedom Day. 

It's typically our second largest event. of the year. Eclipsed by our
open house.

We have Fedora coming down and several presenters lined up. 

We have been posting the information to social networks. 

Meetup.com facebook twitter reddit .... 

And mostly a lot of emails and phone calls to get people to show up.
