SFD online store is up! Tshirts and TOCD packs

by Pia Waugh

Hi everyone! As you all know, all teams that register prior to July 31st get some tasty SFD schwag to help make their events rock. We also now have the online store ready to go for teams that want to purchase additional tshirts or The Open CD packs! Remember, teams are also able to send a request for special consideration to the SFI Board to get extra goodies for free if they are unable to purchase more goodies but have a good case. So, the short of it is we're really pleased to announce our online store is ready to go! Tshirts are on there for AUD$30 but teams get them for AUD$15 each (AUD$15 = ~USD$12.50), and for the first time we also have The Open CD Packs (with 5 CDs) available for $25 ($12.50 for teams) so please ensure when you place any team orders that you tick the "Gift Voucher" box once you confirm your order which will apply the 50% discount before paying. The dicount code is: sfdt3@ms Don't worry about the "Redeem" button, it'll apply once you click Continue. Also, _ensure_ you also tick the "Comments" section of your order and add the size(s) you'd like and which team you are ordering for so we can bundle the new goodies in with your free SFD Team Pack! We'll then label the additional goodies such that you can determine who ordered more and which are the free schwag. The team discount only applies till 31st July, so get in quick! Payment options include Paypal (includes Visa, Mastercard and other credit options), Cheque and Bank transfers, although we don't recommend the bank transfers expect for large orders due to the SWIFT fees (unless you are in the US). Don't worry, you don't have to have a Paypal account to participate. If anyone has issues with the online store, please email info at softwarefreedomday.org Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org/

(providing an answer to that > question would help a lot with translating it properly) I think the best answer to that is here: http://softwarefreedomday.org/SoftwareFreedom Software Freedom is about trustworthy, transparent and sustainable software. It is kind of the practical outcomes of much Free Software but we wanted something broader that encapsulates what our entire community cares about. I think Software Freedom is also good because it removes the confusion (in english anyway) of free as in gratis :) Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all and the earth itself to nobody." - Jean Jacques Rosseau

Re: [SFD-discuss] What does "Software Freedom" mean?

by Leo Gomez

Yes, it's correct. The word 'free' is a bit ambiguous in English. In Spanish on the other hand 'Libre' is 'free as in free speech' while 'Gratis' is 'free as in free beer'. The literal translation of 'Software Freedom Day' in Spanish would be 'Día de la libertad del software' but it sounds strange. I prefer to translate it as 'Día del software libre' or 'Free (as in speech) Software Day'.

It could for example mean "free as in free beer" or "free as in free speech" (gues wich free software is refering to ;-) In danish its much simpler. the translation of free software is: "Fri software". 'Fri' means "free as in free speech". If you look at this site: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fs-translations.html, you will find that the translation of "free software" to spanish is: software libre -- Regards Georg Sluyterman njlug.dk, Aalborg, Denmark

What does "Software Freedom" mean?

by Marcelo

Hi, we are still trying to understand how to translate "Software Freedom Day" to Spanish, so let me ask another question: What does "Software Freedom" mean or refer to? I understand "Free Software", I'm just not sure how that's different from "Software Freedom", and if it's the same thing, why isn't the event called "Free Software Day" then? (providing an answer to that question would help a lot with translating it properly) Thanks! Marcelo

Re: [SFD-discuss] Nombre del evento en español / Event name in spanish

> Bueno pues aca en Guatemala lo tenemos como el Dia el Software Libre [translation: here in Guatemala we use Free Software Day] A eso se debe nuestra consulta, pues "Dia del Software Libre" se traduce de vuelta al inglés como "Free Software Day" y no como "Software Freedom Day". [translation: that's the reason for our question, because "Dia del Software Libre" translates back to English as "Free Software Day" and not as "Software Freedom Day".] ¡Gracias! Marcelo
