Software Freedom Day

                                      Worldwide, Saturday, September 17
  
In the words of its organizers, Software Freedom Day "is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our 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 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."

There are meeting sites in Boston, around the USA and rest of the world.  Check the various schedules for events and times.

Here's Pia Waugh's statement on Free and Open Software's importance for human rights.  The basic reference point is, of course, the United Nations accord, "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

  2. Writing a business plan is essential prior to launching your business. You may think you have all the answers in your head: You know what you are going to do; you know to whom you are going to sell; you know what price points you are looking for, etc. But, if you do not take the time to write it out (in detail), then there is a high probability you will fail. The steps to writing out a business plan, for either an online business or a traditional brick and mortar business, are not that hard. But providing sufficient detail to try and convince an investor is. You should take at least that much interest in your business (and your business plan) even if you are the only investor in your business. After all, you don't want to lose "your investment" in the business, do you? You should take a look at all areas of your business just as if you were investing money in someone else's business. Only then will you know if you have all your bases covered https://1cad.cheapsoftwaredownload.net/autocad-electrical.html

  3. Learning how to use Adobe Elements software can get very complicated and you do not want to run before you can walk. Look for simplified Adobe Photoshop Elements tutorials, many of which you will find for free online. coreldraw graphics suite 2018 vs x8
