Re: [SFD-discuss] [SFD-announce] Last day for submitting competition report

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear Robert, You have been told about it before. Let me quote this for you: 1. SFD Site front page, competition article title: "Submit your report before 31st Oct 2010!" 2. Competition rules page, just before the rules list: "The competition will be judged by the Software Freedom International board as usual. The deadline for submitting entries is 31st October 2010 at 1200UTC." 3. Announce email posted to SFD-Discuss and SFD-Announce, right after the submission link: "As some of the teams are still celebrating SFD until middle of the month, the deadline for the submissions is October 2010 31st at 12h00 UTC." Now that this is clarified I will also quote the 3 bullet from the General Rules, on the rules page section: "Teams that require more time to prepare their entries may be granted an extension at the discretion of the competition organisers. Applications for a deadline extension should be sent to info[at]softwarefreedomday[dot]org." We do understand that preparing the report is a huge task (been there, done that) and will definitely grant you another week by extending the competition deadline to October 7th 1200UTC. Is this something you can work with? Are other teams facing the same issue, and is 1 extra week for submitting the competition report ok with everyone? Thanks and don't hesitate to get back to us.

It also has no geotagging support (other than showing lat/long EXIF info through elaborate configuration). Sad, but could be fixed. It also has a functional Android client, mobile sharing of pics is a deal-breaker for many if it's not supported. PIcasa, Flickr and most sharing / social pic services all have such support/APIs.

photo stream/mashups options?

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear all, As you've seen we have are already streaming Flickr's photo based on tags on several pages of the sfd website. Looking through either posts on our blog or the new sfd blogosphere page (an aggregated google search of several keywords arong SFD) a lot of you host there own photos. I was wondering if there was any 'public api' that would work with popular FOSS photo galleries projects that you may be using. I'd prefer to recommend using a FOSS solution rather than Flickr when people ask me how to get their photos appear on our site. Thanks. Fred

Event report submission form is online

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear team leaders, We've put the form online for you to participate and submit your event report. We'll select (as every year) 3 of the best submission and you'll get a chance to win both a Makerbot and Richard Stallman's signed Essais. Note that the rules have slightly been modified from last year and are available here: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/competition The form itself is available here: http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/event_report.html As some of the teams are still celebrating SFD until middle of the month, the deadline for the submissions is October 2010 31st at 12h00 UTC. So good luck to all, a HUGE thank you to all our sponsors and more specifically for the competition Richard Stallman and Bre Pettis from Makerbot, without whom we wouldn't be able to distribute those 2 great gifts to the winning entries. Best to all of you! Frederic Muller SFI President
