-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Software Freedom Day Melbourne <info@sfd.org.au> Reply-to: info@sfd.org.au To: Ben Sturmfels Subject: Thank you on behalf of the Software Freedom Day Melbourne team Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:45:00 +1000 Dear Ben, Thank you for your recent support of Software Freedom Day Melbourne, held at the State Library of Victoria on Saturday 18th September. The event attracted hundreds of visitors to a number of free talks, workshops and demonstrations held during the day - some from as far away as Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra. As you might imagine, the event took an enormous amount of organisation, resources and planning, and would not have been possible without your support. We sincerely appreciate the contribution made by the Melbourne Free Software Group, particularly in promoting the abolishment of software patents, and for your very informative talks. If you would pass on our thanks to the group it would be much appreciated :-) As a symbolic token of our thanks, please find attached a Certificate of Appreciation in PDF format. This of course was created using free and open source software (Inkscape)! We're currently compiling our post-event report which will be made available on request to key stakeholders by mid-October. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you wish to receive a copy. We look forward to collaborating with you on future similar projects. With kind regards, The Software Freedom Day organising team Dale Dickens, Brianna Laugher, Donna Benjamin, Wen Lin, Ben Sturmfels, George Patterson, Kathy Reid and many others ========================= Software Freedom Day Melbourne http://www.sfd.org.au/Melbourne info@sfd.org.au 2011 date to be confirmed
