[Terri Wischmann]

Hi All -

Join Software Freedom Day! This event  is taking place Saturday, 
September 20, 2008.

Software Freedom Day is a global celebration and education of why 
transparent and sustainable technologies are now more important than 
ever. With over 200 teams in 60 countries participating, it is a 
fantastic event to get your schools and communities involved in. Go 
along to your local event or start your own event and meet a wide range 
of people, all working together to help ensure our freedoms are 
maintained by the technologies of tomorrow.

Sun has a HUGE presence in Software Freedom Days! Wanted to give an 
update on how involved OpenSolaris is here! Sun Campus Ambassadors are 
doing amazing events all over the world for OpenSolaris.

We have over 220 university campuses holding celebrations and 
installfests!(this was as of this morning) And this number continues to 
grow Majority (~95%) of them are OpenSolaris !

A couple of stats:

    * In India alone they are doing more than 80 events!! The
      celebrations started there on September 13th and Abhishek Kumar, a
      Campus Ambassador has addressed on 3 different venues with more
      than 500 students in attendance!
