DESCRIPTION:Freedom Fest Is Coming!  Red Hat Sponsors the Fourth Annual EFF Freedom 
 Fest at LinuxWorld August 4  The EFF Freedom Fest will take place on 
 Wednesday, August 4th, from 5:00-8:00 p.m. The event is open to everyone 
 attending LinuxWorld and all EFF supporters.  ( Note : This is a privatized 
 Metreon-policed park...  this press release is not clear whether this is 
 open to the public , but is not likely fenced off as it is an entranceway 
 to Metreon businesses and Yerba Buena Museum. )  San Francisco, CA - For 
 the past four years, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has been thanking 
 its members for their support with a free outdoor concert called Freedom 
 Fest. This year's event will be bigger and better than ever. EFF has 
 partnered with Red Hat, the world's leading provider of Linux and open 
 source solutions, to conduct the festivities as part of the LinuxWorld 
 Conference and Expo in San Francisco. The Freedom Fest will be held 
 outdoors at the gorgeous Yerba Buena Gardens, with an all-star lineup that 
 features celebrated local artists Austin Willacy, Josh Fix and the Furious 
 Force, and The Megan Slankard Band.  Warwick Davies, Group Vice President, 
 IDG World Expo, said, "We're pleased to have EFF's Freedom Fest at 
 LinuxWorld. It's a natural partnership, and we hope everybody who attends 
 has a great time."  Red Hat Vice President of Corporate Communications 
 David Burney added, "As an open source company, Red Hat believes in 
 providing freedom and choice to technology users, and we are excited to 
 partner with EFF to bring this great event to the Bay Area."  In addition 
 to celebrating digital rights, this year's Freedom Fest is held in honor of 
 the attorneys who volunteered their time to help win the Bunner case, 
 defending Andrew Bunner and hundreds of other Linux users who hosted DeCSS 
 code on their websites against a lawsuit brought by several large 
 entertainment companies. The annual concert is also a chance for people 
 interested in EFF issues to meet the staff in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoy 
 some free music, and share food and drink. And for the first time ever, the 
 event will be simulcast live over the Web at the EFF website.  Freedom Fest
