Same here with Baguio City, Philippines. (/baguio). I've double-checked my inbox and spam, but I didn't get a confirmation email considering that we've registered our group way before the deadline.

T-shirt .jpeg's in official artwork when ?

by shirish

Hi all, I went to the artwork page to get a sense of the T-shirts being supplied and saw its a blank page http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork/2009/#head-6bd774028f2a88f7212797bb2a… Then went to the online store to check out the T-shirts http://sfd.openfreeway.org/product_info.php?cPath=5&products_id=17 and even here the T-shirts have a very small resolution. Can we have a good resolution on the T-shirts and the design ? Looking forward for feedback and thanx in advance. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Dear Fred, Thank you for your response! We will try our best with the resources we have and hope to make it a remarkable event for our community. Hayat, Thank you for correcting me! When registering our team, I looked for a team that celebrates sfd in Ethiopia, and couldn't find any. Still there is no any other team in the teams section of the sfd wiki that is celebrating sdf in Ethiopia this year, unless it has put its presence somewhere else. That's why I said the first of its kind In our country. As I see it from the website you mentioned, it was celebrated in 2006. Good! What about this year? Are you celebrating the event? If you could assist us in any way I'd really appreciate it. peace, asmelash On 8/19/09, Frederic Muller <fred(a)beijinglug.org> wrote: > Dear Asmelash, > > In order to receive the team pack you had to register before July 19th, > and it's now unfortunately too late.

Dear Asmelash, In order to receive the team pack you had to register before July 19th, and it's now unfortunately too late. We can only recommend you to mark the date (around May - June) in your calendar for next year. Maybe you can find resources in-country within the month to come. Good luck with your event.

Hello Robert, We're so pleased to celebrate Software freedom day in our community, the first of its kind in our country. We are trying our best to get the necessary support from universities, schools and the government. The band width in our country is so low that it's simply impossible to download big software. So, I'd really appreciate if you could send us some copies of Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org and other free and open source software. our team page: http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/africa/Ethiopia/mit_foss_group regards, asmelash On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 6:24 PM, Edgar Hoffmann<kontakt(a)freiesoftwareog.org> wrote: > Hello Team. > I got the Ubuntu-CDs today directly from Canonical. > > Thanks for your effort. > > Greetings from Germany > > Edgar "Fast Edi" Hoffmann > Am Dienstag, den 18.08.2009, 08:35 +0100 schrieb Robert Schumann: >> Hello SFD'ers, >> >> Apologies for the delay since the last communication from SFD Central >> - unfortunately good weather during the summer (for us up in the >> northern hemisphere) has got in the way of getting things done. >> >> Our major news is that we have recently sent emails to all team >> leaders who managed to register before the team supplies shipping >> deadline, informing them what they'll be getting in their team supply >> packs.
