The program was widely covered in print and electronic media. Despite the fact that some participants of the Indian Idol gala were in nearby Pulchowk Campus for a concert, the event saw a huge participation of common people. People made it a point to come to SFD first and then go for the concert.
The eve was celebrated with candle lighting at Mandala, Maitighar. This year's theme for SFD in Nepal was chosen to be 'Linux for Destops'.
On 15th, high ranking people from HLCIT and notable ones in ICT like Mr. Mahabir Pun (who needs no introduction) were present to show their solidarity for the Free and Open Source.
On that day, there was Distro Demo focusing applications for Desktop in Linux where we showcased applications ranging from Text editor to photo editor, games to 3D modeling. People anyway liked the localized Linux ie Nepalinux which was impressive with Nepali unicode and Nepali Spell checker. Then there was much awaited Freedom Toaster, where you can burn the softwares of your choice. It was a massive hit. People were excited to see how easily they could have a free and open source software of their choice. We had a documentary show where the documentary on FOSS activities in Nepal was shown along with Revolution OS and Anti-Trust. Later, in the evening, it was time for celebration where there were programs like Musical Chair, Quiz to select Mr and Miss SFD. After this, we were there rocking the dance floor.
By the way, I was in Distro Demo where I displayed a 3D modeling software- Blender and an education suite-GCompris. I am uploading some pics because I believe a picture is worth 1000 words.
