SFD in Day of Atonement

[Julian Daich]

Hi,

Software Freedom Day (SFD)[ 1] is a worldwide celebration of Free and
Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal in this celebration is to educate
the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in
education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short,
everywhere! The non-profit organization Software Freedom
International[ 2] coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support,
giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the
world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.

This year the FSD was selected to be on 18th of September which is
alsothe Day of Atonement at the jewish calendar
I'm highly involved in the FSD event at Madrid.
It does not only mean that people highly involved at the event
will unable to participate, but also that it will not be Israeli FSD in
that date.
I don't know how the desition was made. I wrote then about moving it on
to a later date( September 30th) and I waiting for an answer.

It colud be of great support if other people contact them also.

Best Regards,

Julian
