# *Software Freedom Day - 19th of September 2020*
*Free Software Melbourne* and *Linux Users Victoria* are celebrating the 17th
annual Software Freedom Day celebrations in Melbourne. We will present a
range of leaders in the Free-Software community that will talk about the
importance of Free-Software to a free society.
The SFD celebration will kick off with what is "Free and Open Source
Software" and why it is so important for a modern, digital society. We'll
be hearing from leading contributors and organizers of companies building
businesses around Free and Open Source projects. We're also going to talk
about the ethics of software development and the advantages of building a
prosthetic using open hardware. There is also the opportunity for
networking opportunities in our general FLOSS chat room during the day.
