I have been organizing events for Software Freedom Day since 2007 but never
distributed single Ubuntu CD but Fedora and its remix Hanthana Linux.
Recently I registered at SFD site and I did not requested Ubuntu CDs during
the registration process as I am not intended to promote Ubuntu during the
event but the concept of Free and Open Source Software.

Its up to you whether you registering your event or not. I never get any
swag from their side but definitely the SFD site works as a central location
to list all events around the world.

You can ask Red Hat to sponsor on behalf of Fedora if you want to make
Fedora logo visible in the the home page. :)

Best Regards,
