We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of TheOpenCD
v1.4.1. This point-release is a special edition for Software Freedom Day
2004. As such, it has a new Software Freedom Day (SFD) livery, contains
pages with information about SFD and links to the SFD website. Mozilla,
OpenOffice, AbiWord, Gimp and other applications have been updated to
the most recent versions. It also serves as an official release of
TheOpenCD, and we recommend those who plan to burn and distribute
several copies to update their ISOs. Get a copy from one of our FTP
mirrors or on Bittorrent (here or here).

The CD will be handed out at various locations around the world on the
first annual Software Freedom Day, August 28th, as part of a Software
Freedom Pack. This will also include a custom version of Knoppix, which
we have remastered with the aim of presenting a clean and simple
interface for the beginner Linux user (Thanks to Jason King for a great
job on this!). We do not currently have enough server capacity to host
the Knoppix ISO for general download, however it will be available on
Bittorrent. Screenshots are here.

TheOpenCD project is an active partner in SFD with an overlap of project
admins and with TheOpenCD forming one of the cornerstones of the
distribution pack (though we also recommend GNUWinII and Linux
distributions). For more information on SFD visit the web page or see
this introductory article at OSnews.com. We estimate that around 20.000
CDs will be distributed around the world on SFD, in the form or FOSS for
Windows and Live Linux CDs. Nearly 40 teams of volunteers have signed up
in 26 countries. We would also like to take this opportunity to invite
other FOSS enthusiasts to get involved, including projects, local
groups, companies or individuals. Check the Wiki to see if there is
already a team near you, or use the team sign-up form to create one.
