Sounds good to me as well.
The English as well as the Finnish final drafts about can be put in my University's(Aalto) notice boards, can be announced through guilds and my friends in Laurea, Tampere universities have promised me to do the same. I will figure out more ways to reach Finnish people as well.
So that is a heads up from my side.

Ok, no comments to the Finnish version, I assume silence means approval. I now translated it into English too.
Sid, could you proof-read ASAP? https://pad.fsfe.org/p/SFD2013FI
I'll then announce the event.

Hello,
I wrote a draft (in Finnish) about the presentation text of the event, see: https://pad.fsfe.org/p/SFD2013FI
If you Finnish guys give me feedback by mail or edit the text directly it would be cool. When it is done in Finnish I can translate it into English.
We need to do this quickly in 1-2 days to that we can announce the event and start advertising.

I have now created the event page https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8100489783 and registration is open, but I have not yet advertised this anywhere. Also, it seems very little can be customized in Eventbrite and now the registration process is mostly in English. Bad. But I don't have any ideas how to avoid it either.
I will send the event to COSS.fi for a large announcement later today or tomorrow morning.
In the mean time, could any of you create a A4-sized printable poster about the event, so we can promote it? We need something that can be put on campus walls, libraries etc. Should be in Finnish or possibly bi-lingual.
Would this be a good task for Jussi? Please help, I've done quite a lot now.

Ok, it is public now: http://coss.fi/tapahtumat/avoimien-ohjelmien-paiva-2013-software-freedom-day...
For final check, could somebody proof-read it once more before we start advertising it?

The text looks good. The big English paragraph could be probably written more fluently but it's certainly good enough.
