=3D=3D Make these happen =3D=3D

There are other possible MFS events and activities but they need someone
to make them happen; no volunteer, no happen.  Here are some examples:

* International Day Against DRM
** In May this year?
** https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm

* Trade treaty campaigning
** CETA
** Others

The 'Digital Freedom Foundation' are the group behind Software Freedom
Day and they also do other days.  Could you make them happen for MFS?

* Education Freedom Day 2017
** Saturday, 17 March (3rd Saturday of March)
** http://www.educationfreedomday.org/

* Document Freedom Day 2017
** Saturday, 29 March (Last Wednesday in March)
** http://documentfreedom.org/

* Hardware Freedom Day 2017
** Saturday, 15 April (3rd Saturday of April)
** http://www.hfday.org/

Regards,
Mike.
MFS Chair.
