I will be pleased to administering it. I believe that it is very important to have the list. There are many countries of Hispanic speech and although each country already have a channel of national communication, this list will be good to share ideas and experiences with the growth of the event as our goal. Because as of today, it is frankly incipient the participation of the community Hispanic speaker. If we work hard this year, the next one will be better. Since 2005 the FLISoL is carried out in Latin america (Latin American Festival of Free Sofware), participating hundreds of cities in more than twenty countries. It would be interesting to have two annual events (one in April and another in September) of massive diffusion and international integration. PreguntasLinux.Org has provided successfully support post installfest to the FLISoL, and we are willing to collaborate in the same way with the SFD. Regards Peter Eisingerhttp://preguntaslinux.org/ Community of Free Software. Forum GNU/Linux/*NIX. Support Installfest.-----Pia, muchas gracias por tu amable respuesta. Robert, absolutamente de acuerdo, es lo más lógico y natural. Bien, no tengo problema en administrarla, gracias. Creo que es muy importante disponer de la lista. Son muchos los paises de habla hispana y si bien en cada pais ya disponen de un canal de comunicación nacional, esta lista servirá para compartir ideas y experiencias con miras a que el evento crezca. Porque a la fecha es francamente incipiente la participación de la comunidad hispano parlante. Si trabajamos duro este año, el próximo será mejor. En america latina, desde el año 2005 se realiza el FLISoL (Festival Latinoamericano de Sofware Libre), participando una centena de ciudades en una veintena de paises. Sería interesante tener dos eventos anuales (uno en abril y otro en septiembre) de difusión masiva e integración internacional. PreguntasLinux.Org ha provisto exitosamente de soporte post installfest al FLISoL, y estamos dispuestos a colaborar de la misma manera con el SFD. Saludos, Peter Eisinger http://preguntaslinux.org/ Comunidad de Software Libre. Foro GNU/Linux/*NIX. Support Installfest.

Hi! Can we get the SFD graphics (logo, sun graphic, etc...) to build our local SFD page? Is there anything like a build-your-sfd-page kit?

Software Feedom Friends, Whith the intention that the Software Feedom day expands in the community of Spanish speakers the mail list was created. [1] It was already talked with some of you, we think that a more fluent comunication will be reached on this way. Regards Peter Eisinger [1] http://preguntaslinux.org/mailman/listinfo/sfd_preguntaslinux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amigos del Software Feedom, Con la intención de que el Software Feedom day crezca en la comunidad de habla hispana, se ha creado la lista de correo [1] Ya lo hablamos con algunos de uds, pensamos que así se logrará una más fluida comunicación. Los esperamos. Cordiales saludos, Peter Eisinger [1] http://preguntaslinux.org/mailman/listinfo/sfd_preguntaslinux.org

Make sure your team addresses are correct!

Hi all, We recently had a package return to sender from last years Software Freedom Day and I thought that the photos and story would act as a good reminder to all teams to ensure they get their contact details right! http://inodes.org/blog/2007/07/11/sfd2006-return-to-sender/ Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/ "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J.

request from macedonia
by Novica Nakov 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

HI all, I recently learned that there are few teams from Macedonia working on SFD07 and we are going to try to coordinate things here. One of the things we are doing is cooperating with local companies in order to have a rather large amount of CD/DVDs with free software hopefully in time for SFD. We are doing this mainly because it is way to complicated to receive CDs from abroad because of Customs. That is why I would like to ask if it is possible for Macedonian teams to get more T-shirts and other items instead of the usual pack of CDs. Cheers, -- Novica Nakov Free Software Macedonia http://freesoftware.org.mk

Press Release about SFD 07
by Pia Waugh 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi all, please find a new press release about SFD 2007 at: http://softwarefreedomday.org/PressReleases/18072007 If anyone can help get this out by posting on slashdot, or any other news forums, that would be great! I've already posted it on the IOSN website, on LXer (including their events database), Linux Today, Linux Magazine, and a few calendars around the place. If anyone wants to take this, modify and use for your own local press releases please go ahead! There are some more press tools available on the global marketing page (http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/global/marketing) and press releases you do can be linked from the main press page (http://softwarefreedomday.org/press) so make some noise people! If anyone wants to create a translation, please just add a language code to the url, and then link the new url in this story for easy reference :) Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org/ "He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire." - Lao-tzu

Free SFD 2007 tshirts in Second Life
by Pia Waugh 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi all, an Australia FOSS developer, Chris Yeoh has created a virtual SFD 2007 tshirt for anyone in Second Life. You can check it out at: http://www.ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/diary.cgi/2007/07/16#sfd07_virtual Cool work :) As people are doing their prep for SFD07 please feel free to share more ideas like this so everyone can join in the fun. (For the record, although the SL engine isn't FOSS yet, there is a GPL'd client, several parts of the rendering engine components and talk of the entire thing being GPL'd eventually. Plus it is an avenue into a large online community of people who can all learn about Software Freedom :) Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "Women hold up half the sky." - Mao Tse Tung
