Hi there all, this is where we are busy planning our SFD program - you are welcome to join in with your ideas!

 

To give you an idea about what to expect this year - visit the SFD 2005 photoalbum.

 

Planned program:

We plan to create a Barcampish atmosphere - with presentations on open source / open content topics - Okeno, one of our ArtMarketOnline artists from Ngoma Vuma Afrika is preparing a presentation on African rhythms - so the event will be a mix of our artists works and music as well as the usual monthly open day atmosphere.
