SFI President speaking at GNOME.Asia Summit in Bangalore
by Frederic Muller - SFI 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Dear all, Considering we have had a lot of teams in India in the past years I will be traveling to Bangalore, India and attend the GNOME.Asia Summit 2011 [1]. I intend to talk about why Software Freedom matters, explain a few more things about licensing (based on discussion I have had on IRC with some Indian team leaders), Free Software and Open Source and hopefully run a round table discussion with potential team leaders for 2011. The main motivation has been that for the first time SFI founder, VP and treasurer and I met in 2010 for the 1st time after 3 full years of collaboration, and a lot of things came out of it. I believe getting a chance to sit together and discuss various strategies, event organization and road blocks can be very beneficial for the team leaders who could attend. Looking forward to meeting some of you in person, and hopefully the SFI board will be able to attend other FOSS conferences in the upcoming months in different areas and engage into face to face communication with more team leaders. Thank you very much for your continuous efforts to celebrate software freedom. Kind regards, Frederic Muller SFI President

JoinDiaspora and other SaaS alternatives

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone If you are on Diaspora's main pod (at joindiaspora.com) please consider adding me to your aspects -> magicfab(a)joindiaspora.com If you are not but would like to be, please email me offlist with your preferred email address and I can send you an invite. To find out more about Diaspora, see: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Diaspora I think in SFD's context it's important we anticipate questions about using SaaS social networks, particularly Facebook and G+, and if we know or have tried others such as Diaspora, it makes for an interesting discussion on SFD, or even a viable alternative. I'd love to hear opinions on this, although my goal is only to provide another tools for SaaS discussion on SFD should you come across such questions. And interesting list of such alternatives for other services can be seen here, don't hesitate to augment/modify it: http://wiki.autonomo.us/Wish_list Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez Montral, QC, Canada http://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:MagicFab ~ http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011/Canada/Montreal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGP/Mime available upon request Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk5rRl8ACgkQfUcTXFrypNVnjwCgt8MIpdhHezvOPOsad1h0Ht02 5IYAoPSjONXaXNB1DtR/XfQ7EEQivzN3 =Lhh1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
