Yes, now active, but they had a pause of about 10 months, which is very long period for an Open-Source project, so I thought they were inactive. Anyway, I don't like it -- neither the CD browser, nor the lack of user community forum, so I established Qumble. Link: www.qumble.org -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

I create 3 wiki pages for press contacts: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/media - media list - url for submission when I found them - don't hesitate to help with the site who do not have a link yet (I can only do English and French) http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/template - sample letter in English http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/template-fr - sample letter in French Don't hesitate to fix typos or spelling mistakes, also I recommend to change in the last paragraph "with local organizers in your country" by the country where you will post (if you do) and maybe give a link to the wiki country page. Thanks.
