Description

Software Freedom Day Software Freedom Day is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).

This year, SFD would be also organized by fedora volunteers in Belgaum, a city in Karnataka State of INDIA. During this day, a lot of activities would be held for Science students and also for general public.
