Hi James (and everyone else) We're doing our event in October, because it has to be in university term-time. It'll be too late for us to contribute, but it'd be cool to get hold of what you produce to display it at our event! Steve (Team Cardiff)

[Planning-en] Software Freedom Day online linkup...

by Paul Schulz

Greetings all, As part of our event at Mawson Lakes in Adelaide, South Australia we will be setting up a projector with (hopefully) pictures from other events around the world as they happen. To kick this off, I have created a wikipage for people to add their photo links to. http://softwarefreedomday.org/projects/picturewall I can supply the software/pages that I am using for anyone else who would like to do similar... Cheers, Paul Schulz

Then people can cruise in and out of SFD pix-forum mode as it suits them, and we get a sense of all being on the same world-wide page, for at least one (long) day :) Only SFD could offer such international promise. Thanks James, -- Rik

Re: [Planning-en] t-shirts?

by Matthew Saunders

Hi Debbie, I think I would be right in saying that the Ubuntu CDs came from a different location. The Ubuntu disks that arrived looked like they came from shipit.ubuntu.com - the usual Ubuntu distribution system that you can order more from as and when you need them. You would just need to sign up for a Launchpad account. Theres some really cool Windows software on these disks if inserted whilst Windows is running, as well as the Live version of Ubuntu that can be installed to your hard drive once you are into the live system. The t-shirts are coming from Australia, so will take a little longer, depending on where you are around the world. I think the CDs come from Europe. Good luck with your event.

[Planning-en] t-shirts?

by Deborah White

I'm confused and excited! I'm excited that my box of Ubuntu CD's arrived today. I'm confused because there were no T-shirts in the box. I was expecting the 2 shirts that each team was supposed to get. I had planned to use the T-shirts as part of our event. I thought I responded to the request for sizes. Did I misunderstand something? Thanks for any clarification you can provide. Debbie White Software Freedom Day Kids Asa C. Adams School Orono, ME USA
