Re: [SFD-discuss] Stuff not yet received

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.

BBC World Service Click Program

by Cat Scratch

Hi everyone, Some of you may know that the BBC runs a program called Click on it's World News Service... They have a contact form... would be great for teams to contact them with what they are doing... we may not get coverage before the event - but perhaps it will be of interest to the BBC for a follow up story? http://www.bbcworldnews.com/Pages/ContactProgramme.aspx?id=18 cheers Donna -- Software Freedom Day 2008 http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/melb A world wide celebration of Free and Open Source Software Melbourne event at The Hub@Docklands and the community behind it. 11am - 4pm, Saturday 20 September

Re: [SFD-discuss] Packages not received yet

by Frederic Muller

morning guys! If you use a different name to ask for your package it makes it impossible for me to find it. Now I did find your team under this new name but it seems there has been a delivery problem (from the tracking information). Let me clarify this with the delivery company and get back to you.

In the US, at least... tie the event to Constitution Day

by Kevin Cole

Hi, There may be ways to promote Software Freedom by linking it with parallel freedoms granted (in some form) by many constitutions. Particularly, in the United States, where Constitution Day is September 17 -- see http://www.constitutioncenter.org/ConstitutionDay/ I'm not suggesting a change of date or anything, but since the two days are close together, there may be ways to take advantage of that.
