Re: [SFD-discuss] Changing Group Information

Hi Alexjan, There was a bit of a problem with the registration script at the start of registration which meant that some team leaders did not manage to request team supplies. I have checked your registration information, and your registration does not include a request for supplies - possibly as a result of this issue. We will still send you supplies if you want them (three T-shirts, plus stickers, balloons, badges, FOSS CDs and some resource CDs). There are two ways to get supplies: 1. Send me your mailing address by email, and let me know what size T-shirts you would like. 2. Go and register again. If you select "Yes" for "Would your team like to receive supplies?", a new set of boxes to fill in should appear, asking for your mailing address and some other things. If these new boxes do not appear, click "Reload" on your browser and the problem should be fixed. Robert.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Changing Group Information

Hi Grant, The registration system has not been designed for changes to be made after registration, in order to allow us to plan shipping and verify that we have the data we require. However, if there is data in your registration that you would like to change, please do email me and I'll fix it. I have already updated your team page to point to the correct wikipage. Robert.

Name and details

by shirish

Hi all, I've registered almost a month or more before. I have a bunch of questions but would use a single mail to query a single question. I registered on the wiki using my name and other things which were required or was told is nice to have on the wiki. After I did that I tried to see how many others have done something similar. Almost all the people who are in Category homepage of the wiki haven't put up anything more than their e-mail addresses. It might be they have privacy concerns or something else altogether. Also was confused as to where to put the picture. A suggestion is when people are putting up their own page it should also give a link to some person (maybe from softwarefreedomday.org itself) which makes it easier for people to have something to use/build on. Alternatively, how or where should we post our contact details so people at softwarefreedomday.org know where to send the packs and perhaps interact on a regional level. All any ideas, suggestions, alternatives are welcomed :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD How to load Wiki Webpage??

by Nicholas Ng

Grant Petch, If you already registered an account at http://softwarefreedomday.org, you can login to edit your wiki for your team by clicking on the "Login" link at the top-right corner of the page (below the Search button). Once login, point your browser to http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/oceania/au/SouthernFleurieu and click on the "Create new empty page" link to create the page. From there, you can edit your team's wiki page and click on the "Save Changes" button to save the content. You will also need to contact the SFD staff (ie. Pia) to update your team's wiki location from http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/ to http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/oceania/au/SouthernFleurieu so it will be reflected in the teams' listing as well as in http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml Hope this information is helpful. Cheers.

SFD How to load Wiki Webpage??

by GPCS - Grant Petch

Hi List: Just managed to work out how to register for getting a wikipage, as I'm trying to work out how to get a webpage up on the SFD 2008 for our team, and for it to display with everyone elses at www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams and also for it to have its own url at www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/oceania/au/SouthernFleurieu OK I managed to create and save a page when I registered my own name as "Grant Petch", but from here I have absolutely no idea how I am to get and load the page up where it is supposed to go. I have read the instructions provided on the website on how to do this stuff, but I am still having trouble on working out how to solve this issue, does anyone know what I am to do now from here??

Re: [SFD-discuss] Changing Group Information

I have a similar problem when I subscribe my group, but when I do it, was impossible to select this option, so result that I can't have shirt or somenting else. I try to comunicate to the team but they doesn't answer. Now, It's possible that we that have done the subscribe first, will not have anything.

Changing Group Information

by GPCS - Grant Petch

Hi Everyone: I am new to this list as well as being a new leader involved with organising a SFD event in the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula which will be held in the town of Victor Harbor, which is approximately 1.5hrs south of Adelaide South Australia. Now my question.. I've only just a few moments ago registered my team on the SFD website, but if I want to change some details how do I go about this as it didn't give me login details to go back and make changes. The main changes that will be needed will be completed by this upcoming Tuesday, and the changes that will need to be confirmed will be how many leaders / organisers that our group will finally end up having, at this stage I've set this to 12. The next part of my changes will be the number of shirts that we will require and sizes, at this point in time I've only put the information in that I currently have in hand, more will be coming my way before this upcoming Tuesday. Any assistance into how I can finalise my changes will be greatly apprciated Kind Regards, Grant Petch :) SFLUG Organiser & SFD Leader E: gpcs(a)ozemail.com.au
