Keep up the good work! Thanks Leo. Many congratulations to you and your team and the Beijing SFD team from our side as well. Glad to let you all know that the Nepal SFD Team, FOSS Nepal Community, also received the XO machine and some goodies from Google this week. Thanks to Pia and the Software Freedom International and Google, one of the prizes sponsor! Cheers, Subir --- Subir B. Pradhanang subirbp.livejournal.com www.fossnepal.org

Re: [SFD-discuss] Multilingual website

by Lars Noodén

Just be sure to follow the specification for content negotiation and naming of files. e.g. index.en.html, index.sv.html, index.da.html, etc. It's part of the HTTP spec, but since SFD uses Apache, here is the description as to how it applies to apache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/content-negotiation.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_negotiation.html http://vancouver-webpages.com/multilingual/howto.html The two letter codes are from ISO-639, "Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages" and should not be confused with ISO-3166, which is different. http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php OK. Back to lurking. Regards, -Lars

Re: [SFD-discuss] Planning for SFD 2008 - Your ideas and input!

What I'd love to see is a set of consistent materials for the talks at events. Every year Microsoft gets all their MVPs together and works out the messages they'll be sending out for the next twelve months. Every year SFD event visitors are given inconsistent explanations of the concepts behind SFD, FOSS, GNU/Linux etc. I'm not saying we need to formalise a propoganda machine, but the success at which MS manages to get its message across should be a good indication that a consistent message is a successful one. If we had, say, a set of community developed slideshows to use during the event, and we spoke based on the points on those slideshows, we'd probably manage to educate the public much better. We've got some resources for SFD events as it is, we just don't formally have one set of notes and discussion points we're going to use for our events. Comments?

Hi all, <quote who="Leo Arias F."> > A multilingual website would be great. We would love to be able to achieve this, but of course will need help! Could everyone who would be interested in helping achieve this please let us know (on this list is fine, and state the language(s) you can help with so people can see what is and isn't covered). Then we can create a multi-lingual sub-committee for SFD that works with the board to ensure both the website and other announcements/information is able to be made available in something more than english! :) Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/
