If you'd like the contact details of the team leader of the existing Bangladesh team, just let me know (off-list, i.e. don't send your email to the sfd-discuss mailing list). The same goes for anyone else who would like to contact a team leader! Robert.

Great question! My first recommendation is to contact the team directly using the details on their page. If you still want to run your own event because you have a different audience or are in a different area, go for it! We had about 15 teams in Australia last year. We are a big spread out country so it makes sense to have more local events than a big regional event. Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "The future is here.

Great question! My first recommendation is to contact the team directly using the details on their page. If you still want to run your own event because you have a different audience or are in a different area, go for it! We had about 15 teams in Australia last year. We are a big spread out country so it makes sense to have more local events than a big regional event. Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "The future is here.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Two regional teams from one the same region

by Matt Oquist

Hi Shebab, Our recommendation is that you use your best judgment, preferably in cooperation with the other team [leader]. If you contact them and get no response, organize your own event. If they want to work with you on one event and you agree, great! If they're excited to coordinate your two separate events and perhaps share on advertising, or something, great! Basically, just try to be reasonable and combine when it makes sense and organize separately when it doesn't. I hope this helps. :) Regards, Matt Shehab wrote: [Mon Jun 25 2007, 12:38:10AM EDT] > Hi, > > Thanks for your quick answer.

Hi, Thanks for your quick answer. For example, there is already a regional team for the country, Bangladesh (http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/asia/bangladesh?action=show&redirect=te…) Is it possible to create a new regional team for Bangladesh or join the team as a partner?

SFD is a long term project for everyone involved, so having combined events in different places can be launch pads for new events and for bringing people together for a stonger community well into the future.
