Software Freedom Day 2008: shipments are on their way!

by Robert Schumann

Hi SFD team leaders and other software freedom enthusiasts, Those of you who may (soon) be tuning in to the Olympics have another reason to be interested in achievements in China: our team supplies are as we speak making their way from China to all those team leaders who registered before the deadline and requested supplies. Frederic Muller <http://fred.dao2.com/>, a heroic SFI board member based in Beijing, has been working hard over the last few months to organise suppliers for the materials we are planning to send you and shipping to make sure it gets to you. With the support of his friends at the Beijing LUG, they have been collecting and packaging up the supplies in the last two weeks and shipping them to teams in 65 countries across the globe. Frederic has shipped the following supplies to teams: * at least 3 T-shirts * a bunch of stickers * a handful of button badges * a bunch of balloons * a small number of OpenDisc8.5 and OpenEducationDisc CDs The supplies have been shipped by EMS from China, with a maximum shipping time of 20 days to all countries. So those teams that registered before the deadline should be receiving team supplies before the end of August. While you're watching the Olympics, feel free to cheer on the Netherlands because that's where your team's Ubuntu CDs are being shipped from. Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu, and a sponsor of Software Freedom Day) is sponsoring the supply of CDs. Keep an eye out for these, they are being shipped this week and will be delivered by courier. If my programming skills stretch far enough, I'll be trying within the next week to send out automated emails to all 240-odd team leaders telling them what exactly will be in their shipments. If you urgently need to know what your team is getting, please feel free to email me directly ( robert(a)softwarefreedomday.org) Happy software freedom planning - and congratulations, you're part of a fantastic global effort (check out the map<http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml>) reaching from Nepal to Chile, Russia to Nigeria, Germany to Australia via USA and back! Robert.

have the packages been despatched?

by shirish

Hi all, Have the packages been despatched to various countries in the world or not? It takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for package to reach many countries. Can cite use-case of Ubuntu packs which I had ordered sometime back. -- 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-promotion virus by "uncorkers" team?

by Shashi

But in our participation 'Hacker' now means tech savvies as opposed to the meaning of Hacker= Cracker in the wiki i've clearly pointed to RFC1329 that distinguishes and defines Hacker and cracker... I apologise to all of you for all that's happened in our effort to bring "ETHICAL" Hacking (White Hating) to spread FOSS. We had been blind about what spreading freedom means.... I pleade you people to encourage all the new ideas from my teammates only if you feel it goes with the free software philosophy... I welcome criticism... I've been too side-changing which i had to be coz i (we) love fs movement and want to be a solemn part of it... All our moves will be posted on the wiki before conducting any operation and also in this thread of the mailing list... please continue the support...
