Sounds like a great idea! If people have talks or notes from their events in previous years that they think would be useful, please post them to the list and we'll try to collate them and put together useful materials for SFD events that can then be translated and such. This is a good idea. We had been focusing on packs for teams with posters, media release material and the like, but not actual event content! Great idea!

Hi Eugene, <quote who="Eugene Fedin"> > >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). > > I can help with Russian. Great! I'm collating the names and languages, so we can coordinate translations into multiple languages for this year! It is worth mentioning that if you have a Software Freedom Day mailing list (or any list) in another language you are always welcome to forward translated content anywhere you like! Posting stuff back to the mailing list in different languages is a great way to contribute to translations and get other people involved.

Hi Lars, <quote who="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. Thanks for that, once we get underway with translations we'll try to figure out how to be standards compliant with naming of website files. It may be a little more tricky with a wiki, but we'll try :) Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/
