SFI President speaking at GNOME.Asia Summit in Bangalore
by Frederic Muller - SFI Sept. 4, 2012

Sept. 4, 2012

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

Hi all! I generated the files for Estonian countdown and uploaded them as png.zip to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/et. I don't have unzip rights, but I suppose somebody from the team has and can unpack the files as well as update the script to support Estonian countdown. }8P

a couple of minor issues with the SFD Wiki's front page
by Ivan Shmakov July 14, 2012

July 14, 2012

I've just noticed a couple of issues with the Wiki's front page. The first of them is a typographical one: ASCII hyphens (-, U+002D) are used in place of proper em dashes (U+2014; cf. [1].) I've run a simplistic sed(1) substitution over the text, proofread it briefly, applied a couple more of manual fixes, and now MIME the result. The other issue is the mention of SFI where, I guess, DFI should've been mentioned. Thus I suggest the following change: -This SFD Wiki is organized by the Software Freedom International [[sfi|SFI]]. +This SFD Wiki is organized by the [[DFI|Digital Freedom International]] (DFI).

Countdown in Persian!
by Frederic Muller - DFI July 6, 2012

July 6, 2012

Hello all I would like to thank Bersam Karbasion and his team for doing the Persian version of the SFD countdown. You'll notice that they even went with an improved design over the standard SFD countdown one. Be aware though that the banner size is different for this countdown (message definitely intended to Julian). So if you're somewhere in Iran where we have 5 teams registered (UTC+3:30/GMT+3:30) the countdown code will be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+3.30-fa.png" border="0" width="160" height="160" alt="۱۵ سپتامبر، منتظر شما هستیم"></a> Happy SFD to all!

Countdown in Greek!
by Frederic Muller - DFI July 4, 2012

July 4, 2012

Hello all I would like to thank Stathis Iosifidis for doing the Greek version of the SFD countdown this year (and all this while preparing for his upcoming exams). So if you're in Athens, Greece (UTC+3 as Greece is in daylight saving time) the countdown code will be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+3-el.png" border="0" width="165" height="95" alt="Γιορτάστε μαζί μας την SFD στις 15 Σεπτεμβρίου!"></a> Greece has already 2 teams fully registered and a 3rd one should register soon as well as we have been exchanging emails. Happy SFD to all! Fred

SFD Summit proposals
by Frederic Muller - DFI July 2, 2012

July 2, 2012

Dear all, We just wanted to inform you that so far we have received three excellent proposals for the summit to which we have sent a receipt acknowledgment (an email saying we received your proposal). Should you not have received any such email, it probably means we haven't received your proposal. In such case please try to contact me directly or through this mailing list. Thank you. Fred
