Hi all SFD'ers,

With two weeks to go until Software Freedom Day (19 September), I hope that all your preparations for the event are going well.

Regarding shipments of T-shirts and CDs: these were shipped from two separate locations and will therefore arrive at two separate times. Unfortunately we don't have the capability of tracking shipments, so we can't tell you anything further about where these shipments have got to - but from postings to the SFD-discuss mailing list it appears that numerous teams have already received all their goodies.

As in previous years, it is possible that customs officials in various countries will decide that taxes must be paid on the items that we ship to teams. Unfortunately we have no way to influence this, and we are not able to arrange to pay these taxes. Teams will either have to pay those duties, or find some way to convince authorities that the taxes do not need to be paid.

Note that you can still buy further SFD T-shirts from our online store: http://sfd.openfreeway.org/

Good luck with your last two weeks of preparations, and we hope you have a great SFD!

Regards,

Robert
President, Software Freedom International
