Background[edit]
Software Freedom Day?[edit]
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 businesses - in short: everywhere!
Hackers?[edit]
When you hear about hackers in the news, it's often about breaking into computers or networks. You won't find this here. A hackerspace is a place where people who love technology meet each other and get creative: discover new uses for existing technology, teach each other new things. As a ground rule, we all love to share what we know. We often organize workshops - most of them are open to everyone. In Brussels we have two hackerspaces (and some fablabs, a LUG and a makerspace), there are around ten in Belgium. See the site for more details.
Program[edit]
You can download the multilingual (ENG/FR/NL) flyer with the program and some background on the event. Please be sure to spread it amongst your friends and colleagues... File:Flyer-sfd-hsbxl-web.pdf
Ground Floor[edit]
The ground floor is the "walk-in" zone... Everyone is welcome to walk in and look around. There's no schedule, things happen all the time here... You're welcome to have a drink. Apart from the typical drinks, you can also enjoy a Club Mate (the typical hacker drink) Great hackers will be hanging around, happy to have an interesting talk with you. You'll find computers equipped with some of the greatest Free games. Have a seat and try them out... Hackers and Free Software Advocates will show their stuff. You'll see a 3D-printer in action. Have a look and please ask questions!
