The Open CD SFD 2007 edition (TBird)
by alan c Sept. 5, 2007

Sept. 5, 2007

I have just noticed that the TheOpenCD_SFD2007_Edition seems to contain an install for Thunderbird which reports as 'corrupt' file. I already have a significant number of copies so I will simply be mentioning to those accepting a CD, unless anyone has other suggestions please? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391

Hello all you guys We are trying to move forward our SFD celebrations to 29 September instead of the official date of 15 September. Do you think there could be a problem with that? Most of our members (LCZ) won't be able to make the 15 September date and we have agreed that the 29th will be more convenient. Robert and Pia, if you can see this email please can you respond? I've been trying to contact you but the mails are bouncing back. TIA Rumbi

'What is Open Source' Leaflet
by Alex Gretlein Sept. 2, 2007

Sept. 2, 2007

I'm trying to edit Melissa Draper's excellent 'What is Open Source?' leaflet using the Scribus source files provided on the SFD wiki and on the geekosophical site (which appear to be slightly different based on md5sums). In either case, Scribus tells me that the .sla files are not in Scribus format. This is with Scribus 1.2.5 on Ubuntu Feisty. Has anyone had better luck editing these? Obviously Melissa was able to. Does anyone with more Scribus experience have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks Alex Gretlein SFD - Lehigh Valley PA, USA team
