We had a grand SFD celebration in Kathmandu, Nepal with the slogan
'Linux for Desktops, let's make iT FOSSible'. It was jointly organized
by High Level Commission for IT (HLCIT - www.hlcit.gov.np), the apex
government body for IT in Nepal and FOSS Nepal Community
(www.fossnepal.org):

The talking point of our event was the prototype of Freedom Toaster.
We demonstrated the Freedom Toaster with the use of mouse instead of
touchscreen (which is planned to be done later with enough funds) due
to budget constraint. More than 80 CD's were toasted with the
demonstrated Freedom Toaster.

Although we've already filled up the report form, we will have more
detailed report for the competition with all the photos, descriptions
and media coverage in the days to come.

Cheers,
Subir
