🍁💻 Celebrate Software Freedom Day with Hackforge! 💻🍁

Already soaking in the vibes at the Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market? Just a block away, the spirit of community continues!

👉 Drop in at Hackforge HQ anytime between 10AM–Noon for a hands-on intro to free software. More than just “computer programs you don’t have to pay for,” we’re focusing on software that anyone can use, share, and improve – all protected by licenses that guarantee these freedoms.

We’ll walk newcomers through what free software is, why it matters, and how it affects everyday life. Live demos will showcase practical alternatives to common proprietary tools, and you’ll take home a pamphlet highlighting free options that keep your digital life in your own hands.

Stop by to connect with others, learn something new, and join conversations about why software freedom matters here in Windsor and beyond.
