Description
Canonical should put more effort into promoting Software Freedom Day on the leadup into it, to get as many people involved as possible. There doesn't seem to be any mention of it on their site, despite them being a sponsor

Had it not been for my last idea, I would have not even known about it. Here in melbourne Australia, it seems more like an advertising event, then a socialising event, and now that I know, I may even consider organising a pub crawl. Many other people may be interested in doing the same thing, and the earlier these events are posted, the better.

Apple promotes their events a few months up to the event to get people interested. Software freedom day is a world wide celebration, and is only 4 months away, maybe we should start asap, to get as many teams out there hosting events as possible. Every uni, and every state should be hosting something

It's not to Canonical to promote their event, Canonical is a sponsor not an organizer.
