Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2008 - competition winners!

by Subir Pradhanang

Hi everyone, It's really heartening to see the name of FOSS Nepal Community once again in the list of winners and making it two in a row. It'll certainly boost the morale of the community and encourage in organizing the event even better in the years to come. And congratulations to the other teams as well all the way from the himalayan nation, Nepal :) Cheers, Subir --- Subir Pradhanang President FOSS Nepal Community www.fossnepal.org On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 5:57 AM, Robert Schumann <robert(a)softwarefreedomday.org> wrote: > Dear SFD'ers, > > Following a highly successful SFD 2008 - with 50% more teams registered than > in 2007 - we are pleased to announce the winners of the competition for the > best event: > > FOSS Nepal Community (team leader Subir Pradhanang) - team report PDF 7.4MB > SFD Nicaragua (team leader Leandro Gomez) - team report 1.6MB > DabaweGNU (team leader Holden Hao) - team report > > Congratulations to these teams, and many thanks to Subir, Leandro and Holden > for leading their events and telling the world about their how it went! > > Each winning team will be receiving a prize of a pair of OLPC laptops. > > The winning entries were selected for the scope of their SFD activities, the > number of people reached (particularly from the wider, non-technical > community) and the quality of the reporting.

Artwork for 2009

by Mathias Friman

Hi! It's still a long year before the next Software Freedom Day, but for viral marketing purposes it would be nice to have some artwork for the 19th of september 2009. Especially the software freedom day 09-logo would be nice to have available, in either SVG or high resolution format for printing. For examples of web banners for this years event, see http://softwarefreedomday.se/2008/08/16/28/ We'll try for next year to get these things out sooner, to be able to anchor the event in organizations and institutions all over Sweden. For that, we need to produce posters and pamphlets with the new logo, so that people are able to download and print them. And a new (good looking) website. Is it possible to release a 2009-version of the logo (at least)? Kindest Regards, Mathias Friman Sweden

Hi, I'm pretty sure that the work was done by Melissa Draper <melissa(a)meldraweb.com> and is under an open licence so you can use and modify to suite your intended use.

sfd leaflet - license?

by Przemysław Kulczycki

Hi. On the following SFD site there is a nice leaflet which I and my colleagues translated to polish some time ago. http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork Double-folded 'What is Open Source' leaflet: Color background .pdf source files or White background (suitible for b/w photocopying) .pdf source files. Uses mgopen modata font. I'd like to know one thing about this leaflet: who is the original author and what is the license of this leaflet? I need this information to reproduce my translation in large quantities.
