Appar­ently tomor­row, August 28^th, is Soft­ware Free­dom Day.

On August 28, 2004, we will cel­eb­rate the first annual Soft­ware Free­dom Day. On that day, we will make the world aware of the vir­tues of Free and Open Source Soft­ware (FOSS), and encour­age its wide­spread use. We will set up sta­tions in pub­lic places to give away inform­a­tional fli­ers and CDs with selec­ted FOSS, includ­ing TheO­penCD and a Linux Live CD

This is a “a global grass­roots mar­ket­ing cam­paign” organ­ised by the United Nations, through its Inter­na­tional Open Source Net­work (IOSN) . It sounds like a worthy cause to sup­port, pity I only found out about it on such short notice.
