Oct. 21, 2008

Dear Frederic, Please kindly furnish us with shipping details that can enable us to follow up on the late CDs and SFD schwag. From our zim discussion forums the following groups havent received their CDs and/or schwag: Richard Simango, Tonga Online, Binga (CDs and Schwag) Saridzai Mutana, Midlands State University, (Schwag) Tendai Ngndu, Bulawayo, (schwag) I hope you will help us to locate this shipment, Kind Regards, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Frederic Muller <fred(a)beijinglug.org> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:38:56 +0800 Subject: Re: Stuff not yet received To: "Mr. R. Simango" <simangor(a)gmail.com> Cc: Open discussions about SFD <sfd-discuss(a)sf-day.org> Dear Richard, I can only check for SFD schwag and not Ubuntu CDs. Those 2 are the same team in the document I received and from the registration it's your email address that has been used for Austin Njaya's registration. Now to the bad news: the forwarder has failed to ship your shwag (and the other 4 registered teams in Zimbabwe) so you will not be getting anything before September 20th. I must apologize for this. We are now negotiating how to get you the stuff so you can at least have an 'after SFD' party with balloons, stickers and t-shirts. Really sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this will not hinder your preparation work and you will still manage to have a great Saturday as all of us will. Kind regards, Fred Software Freedom Day Mr. R. Simango wrote: > Dear Fred, > Could you kindly furnish us with tracking information for swag send to: > 1.

SFD 2008 - competition deadline extended
by Robert Schumann Oct. 20, 2008

Oct. 20, 2008

Hi SFD'ers, We have extended the deadline for competition entries by one week - the new deadline is 27 October 2008. A quick reminder: we have an event reporting webpage ( http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/event_report.html) where team leaders can tell us about their event, and by ticking a box you can enter your team report for consideration in our SFD competition. If your SFD event is judged to be one of the top events, we will send you a pair of OLPC laptops for your efforts! Remember, email reports sent to the mailing list don't count, you'll need to enter the information on the webpage. If you have any questions, please email us at info(a)sf-day.org. The information you submit with your competition entry will be used to help us work out how far Software Freedom Day has come since the first celebration in 2004, and to let our partners and team leaders know how we're performing. Thanks in anticipation of your reports, and good luck with your competition entries! Robert Vice President, Software Freedom International

T-Shirts colorate when washed!
by Thilo Pfennig Oct. 14, 2008

Oct. 14, 2008

Hi fellow SFD'lers, Just had to find out, thatthe T-Shirts colorate your laundry when you wash them the first time. I am a bit pissed about this fact. I think next time I would recommend to first look at the shirts before spreading them over the world.
