Sorry, I have to respond in english as my only spanish is estoy buscando mis pantalones! :) If anyone is interested in translation work for SFD that would be fantastic! Please put your hands up if anyone can do translation stuff. Good luck with your planning!

Nombre del evento en español / Event name in spanish

by Leo Arias F.

Buenas noches, Este mensaje va dirigido a los equipos inscritos que hablan español. En nuestro grupo (Costa Rica) nos preguntamos cuál es el nombre oficial del evento en español. Vimos que algunos de los grupos lo traducen como Día de la Libertad del Software, pero preferimos preguntar antes de hacer traducciones de los logos y comunicados de prensa y subirlas a la página. De paso, si alguno ha realizado algunas de estas traducciones les agradeceríamos que las compartan con nosotros. Pura vida ******* Good night, This message is intended to spanish speaking teams. On our group (Costa Rica), we were wondering which was the official event name in spanish. We saw that some teams translated it as Día de la Libertad del Software, but we prefer to ask before translating logos and press releases, and then upload them to the page. Talking about that, if somebody has done some of those translations, we would appreciate if you share them with us. Pura vida -- Leo Arias http://elopio.ticoblogger.com

Thanks for the question! We are in fact already ordering the goods for teams The plan is to send 3 tshirts per team, about 20 balloons, 30 stickers, some Ubuntu CDs and some The Open CDs to hand out. We are also putting up artwork, posters and other collateral for teams to locally print, modify and general use. Teams are welcome to hand out other FOSS CDs, their own artwork, handouts and the like. We encourage all teams to run events in line with the SFD vision and objectives: Vision Our vision is to empower all people to freely connect, create and share in a digital world that is participatory, transparent, and sustainable. Objectives 1. to celebrate software freedom and the people behind it 2. to foster a general understanding of software freedom, and encourage adoption of free software and open standards 3. to create more equal access to opportunities through the use of participatory technologies 4. to promote constructive dialogue on responsibilities and rights in the information society 5. to be inclusive of organizations and individuals that share our Vision 6. to be pragmatic, transparent, and responsible as an organisation There will be an online shop within the week that will provide the opportunity for teams to purchase additional shirts at $15 each (just use the SFD team discount code that will be sent through once the shop is announced). Teams that are in need of additional support can send a special request to the SFI Board for tshirts and such. The most in need teams will get special consideration. Every year we try to support all the teams that register in time with some schwag to help them make their events look great (although the schwag is reliant on teams registering before July 31st), and we have at least enough ordered for the first 200 teams that register. We already have 115 teams registered so if anyone hasn't registered their team yet, please do so :) We also try to provide a point of coordination and cooperation between teams (this mailing list :) and provide a positive and effective message about Software Freedom that teams can adopt for their events. Please check out the Start Guide for loads of useful tips and tricks in running an event: http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide Rock on for Software Freedom Day 2007!

t-shirts and CDs

by Douglas A. Whitfield

All, Was it ever decided what exactly SFI would be sending participants? We're securing funding from various sources, but these sources want to know exactly what our budget is. We don't want to say we are buying t-shirts, if we are going to be getting t-shirts and such. If this decision hasn't been made, do we have an idea when the decision will be made? Thanks! Douglas A.

From Hanoi and wondering from the rest of asia

by David Tremblay

It's been 4 years now we started to do the SFD in Ha Noi (Viet Nam) while looking at http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/2007 We started wondering why there's so few team in asia. If you have friends (or friends of friends) that live in the region. You should ring them and ask them to do something. I'm especially thinking of China who should have at least 2 teams. If you check more there's no team in north africa and none in Brazil. If you have friends there, ring them -- David Tremblay Information Technology for development analyst www.ngocentre.org.vn System Administrator Oxfam Québec *emails:* david(a)ngowiki.net // david(a)ngocentre.org.vn *Phones:* Mobile : 84-4-0912 474 995 SIP : 1-747-004-8537 skype : ict4ngo *Webs:* www.oxfam.qc.ca // http://blog.ngowiki.net // www.hanoilug.org *Messaging* jabber network :ict4ngo@jabber.org

110 teams registered!

by Pia Waugh

Hi all, we now have over 110 teams already registered for SFD 2007! This is particularly exciting as we are still 2 1/2 months out. We'll be putting out a press release about SFD in the coming week, so if any teams want to polish up their pages for mass consumption, or provide us with some quotes for the PR that would be great! Rock on for SFD 2007! Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org/
