SFD Countdown soft launch
by Frederic Muller - SFI 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Dear all, We've finally put up a countdown banner (190x200) to SFD. Currently only in English but we have the abilities to translate it as well. Since the event is global we have made one banner per existing time zone on planet Earth (we're thinking bigger for next year and maybe Mars and Neptune support...). So for example if you're using the current English banner and are located in the UK, you'll be at UTC+1 . The banner direct link for you will therefore be: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png and the code to include in your site: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png" border="0" width="190" height="200" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a> List of supported timezones is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset Full documentation and source files can be found here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown Should people want to help localize there are already Portuguese and German on the way, you can probably help finish those 2. Any question please let us know. We'll let the weekend pass, see what other languages we get done and then official announce the counter, with a nicely design page to integrate in the www website. Should you want to use a totally different design, we'll need to modify the script as there is a language symmetry in the current script which will need to be changed. Any question, please ask! Thanks and happy SFD preparations! Fred
