New countdown language: Czech!
by Frederic Muller - SFI Sept. 6, 2011

Sept. 6, 2011

Yeah! A silent individual who goes under the wiki name of eischmann has translated the countdown into Czech. I just added the language into the script and it will be available within 10 minutes. So if you live in Prague you will be at GMT+2 (summer time) and the code to copy and paste in your web site is <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+2-cs.png" border="0" width="190" height="200" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a> Again, it'd be nice if someone could translate 'Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!' either by replying here or directly in the wiki page. Thank you and happy SFD! Fred

*Local* change of date for SFD in Fredericksburg
by Mark Walker Sept. 5, 2011

Sept. 5, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It turns out that Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg this year is, once again, on the International date for Software Freedom Day. As we amply observed last year, it's a challenge to try to talk software with people who are focused on beer--(understandably). As a practical matter, we've moved our FredLUG date for SFD to Saturday, September 24th. That also is our regular last-Saturday meeting day; however that particular day we'll be at the CRRL main library on Caroline Street to do SFD (if anyone goes to the England Run library on that day looking for fellow FOSS folks, it might be a bit lonely there). So we'll be at the main library on Caroline Street in Fredericksburg on the 24th, for celebration of worthy FOSS goodness.

Re: [SFD-discuss] official SFD2011 DVDs are available via torrent for testing

Hi, I had not subscribed my send address properly, to I'm late sending this, my apologies, still seems a valid question though: --------- > Details and torrent file is on http://www.navratil.cz/SFD2011/ Are they the same as the 3 DVDs in the team packs ? What size are the 3 files in bytes ? Cound you add that byte size to web page please ? I read my 3 DVDs in with dd if=/dev/acd0 bs=32k of=image.iso & got different MD5s as seen on my http://berklix.org/sfd/media/ I thought 32K was the minimum for DVDs just as 2K is minimum for CDROMs, I re-read mine with 2K. On all 3 DVDs, I get exactly the same byte size & MD5 with bs=2k as I got before with bs=32k. Did you perhaps use too large a block size ie bs=64k or so to read yours ? That would have appended nulls on yours & different MD5 for FreeCulture.iso with 141269+0 * 32k would then bloat from 4629102592 to eg: dc 141269 2 / 1 + 64 1024 * * p 4629135360 Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below, not above; Indent with "> "; Cumulative like a play script.
