Hello all, I'm now preparing for a talk at Urals State Technical University (Russia) about OpenSource usage in Higher Education, so if anyone have some thoughts about what should be covered in this broad topic your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Schwags this year
by Frederic Muller 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Dear all, We've been starting to prepare for SFD'09 and we would like to know if there is anything that we could add/replace in the schwags we're sending out that could be more helpful for your team to prepare the event this year. We of course do have a limited budget, but it would be nice to get some feedback about how to possibly improve our support. So I hope to get a lot of feedbacks from the 600 team leaders and their support team who made SFD '08 happen! Looking forward to it. Fred SFI Vice President

Couldn't take more than an hour to do a remake on the '08 one.. :) Preferrably in SVG format so it can be fitted to any physical size. This is definately priority number one. Since we in Sweden (at least to some part) try to coordinate everything on a local level, we usually do our own swedish marketing material. That's why it would'a been awsome to get t-shirt-logos and stuff so that we can hunt our own sponsors for printing t-shirts and posters. However, I don't know how much responsability and control you are willing to delegate to local groups. :) Kindest regards, Mathias SFD Sweden ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ SFD-discuss mailing list SFD-discuss(a)sf-day.org http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss End of SFD-discuss Digest, Vol 28, Issue 2 ******************************************

Open source community members in Hobart, Tasmania
by Steve Olive 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, A bit of a strange request ;-) but one of my colleagues has moved from Bathurst NSW to Hobart Tasmania. He has helped me with Software Freedom Day for that last 3 years and wanted to get involved in Hobart but isn't sure who to contact. Is there a Software Freedom Day group in Hobart? If so, could someone or everyone in SFD Hobart please contact me off list so I can pass on contact details? I'd post his contact details, but I use this email address which is the only email account on this mail server, for one thing, subscribing to the SFD Discuss list but I receive nearly 300 spam emails a week :( -- Thanks, Steve Computer Support Officer P/T Teacher Information Technology P/T Arts & IT Faculty Bathurst TAFE NSW Western Institute Phone: 02 6338 2450 email: steve(a)bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au .... _ ...
