Hi all,
The first media snippets are available. In Zurich, a group of FSFE Fellows went to the ETH University and despite freezing cold spread document freedom to many people - many of who were very sympathetic to the cause. Pictures are online here:

Also, the Berlin Fellowship group handed an award to the Foreign Ministry for its excellent policies on Open Standards and Free Software, handing over a "Document Freedom Cake" for the German foreign minister, who unfortunately was outside Germany today.

The award even made it on the front page of the Foreign Ministry home page, screenshot attached below.
And finally, my good friend Mark Lange sent me this link to Steven McGibbon of Microsoft who says he very much agrees with DFD:

I'm sure there will be more rolling in...
