September 16th is Software Freedom Day, a worldwide
celebration of Free Software. Over 150 teams around
the globe will be holding events to promote and
celebrate the achievements of the Free Software
Movement. 

The celebration of Software Freedom Day will not only
encourage grassroot efforts to promote alternative
solutions presented by Free Software but more
especially celebrate the freedom and innovation. 

As part of the celebration LinuxChix, Asterisk and
FreeCulture.org are organising a seminar at Pontificia
Universidad Catolica del Peru in Lima.

Asterisk (Peruvian Users Group)
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on
Linux, BSD and MacOSX and provides all of the features
you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does
voice over IP in many protocols, and can interoperate
with almost all standards-based telephony equipment
using relatively inexpensive hardware.

students and young people who are working to get their
peers involved in the free culture movement.

About Peru:
Today, Peru’s annual per capita income is declining;
52 percent of the population is underemployed and 8
percent are unemployed. Peru has a highly unequal
income distribution and endemic poverty with about 55
percent of the population living below the poverty
level and 24 percent living in extreme poverty. Free
Software can be used to facilitate an inclusive and
participatory process in drafting national poverty
reduction strategies and in achieving their goals.
