Re: [SFD-discuss] Highlighting remaining events

We are having our SFD event tomorrow at the Shantou University! I am going to present "How to join a Free Software Project and why". My slides was already uploaded at: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources#How_to_join_a_Free_Software_Pr… and it is licensed under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, so feel free to use it and share it with anybody! Please also upload your slides to share with us! If you have any problem to upload, just let me know, I would be more than happy to help out! Cheers! Pockey On 10/02/2011 07:54 PM, Julian H.

Re: [SFD-discuss] URLs to SFD lectures ?

Hi The film of OSEPA failed. The presenter of OSOR didn't show up because she was too busy. The two url's for Age of Peers are right. Here is the playlist for Software Freedom Day 2011 at CWI: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCD07C5B11EFB6AB0 -- Met vriendelijke groet, Bas de Lange -- Best regards, Bas de Lange http://www.basdelange.com

Wikipedia presentation on SFD Munich

by gmail.saibot

Hi, I could give a presentation on Wikipedia, if you need more lecturers. I'd focus on the history of Wikipedia and explain how Wikipedia works; with maybe a short presentation on the free software MediaWiki behind Wikipedia. Something between 15 and 45 minutes (whatever you like; I think 30 min including question time might be best). I need a beamer with a VGA port. Language can be German or English, whatever the audience wants. About me: I'm 21 years old, studying Computer Science and Philosophy in Munich. I have been a Wikipedia author for five years now, and an administrator for three years. I give presentations on Wikipedia to students and teachers as part of Wikimedia Deutschlands school project. Regards, Tobias

Some don't install until we've personaly localy compiled sources (inc. me). Getting source packages the size of OpenOffice or LibreOffice to compile is a mammoth task in Disc, CPU, & manual interventions when any of lord knows how many dependencies may break. International lists of people porting software to specific OS's can be of more interest to some than local geographic User groups. "Horses for courses". There's uses both for lists defined by app & geography, & lists defined by app & OS. > > used to have an international list to consider porting issues of > > openoffice versions to FreeBSD.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone After SFD in Montreal I've created a new Libre Planet group to continue gathering and encouraging local activists and free technology enthusiasts: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:LibrePlanet_Quebec I encourage all SFD teams to start similar groups locally: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Form:Group We are very lucky to have active local communities already, so this is mostly serving as an umbrella communication hub, as well as a place where active FSF members that live in the area can organize and represent our goals.
