New countdown language: Czech!

by Frederic Muller - SFI

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

Please download the latest version of Parabola from http://repo.parabolagnulinux.org/isos/testing/ The version on the DVD is flawed and requiers installing Grub post intstallation. Parabola has proved very light and up to date. The best is it is an entierly Free distro that teaches you GNU by showing you its internals while you easily install. -- Quiliro Ordóñez 09 821 8696 02 340 1517 "No se puede sacrificar la libertad por ningún bien, por ninguna promesa de pan o de paz o de justicia, porque ese pan tendría amargura de veneno, esa paz sería de muerte, y esa justicia no sería justicia humana ni tendría sentido."

Hi! I gave you a few tips on the IRC channel, we also have a letter with SFI letterhead which you can customize, print and provide to the custom officers as a proof that you're a valid SFD team. Don't hesitate to give them our website url, your wiki team page and the map URL page where they can find you. The more motivated you are the more chances you have to convince them to let the CDs go. http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources/CustomLetter Hope this help.
