Re: [SFD-discuss] Ubuntu CDs

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi! We actually mentioned this in the announcement but I should probably assume that announcement are like man pages ;-) No Ubuntu CD anymore. While Canonical is still sponsoring SFD both with cash and some part of our infrastructure they will no longer be providing CDs. It's a sad thing as that was really a great thing to be able to provide so many CDs to all teams but we've discussed a lot and there is really no way to get them anymore. I have been in discussion with some people both at Red Hat and openSUSE for the past 2 years to try to find an alternative (as we cannot afford to do it ourselves). The shipping is the biggest cost of it all and the timing as well (letting people know when they produce that they need to make 20K more for SFD). Then you need to get the release somewhat aligned with SFD. openSUSE is being released in September this year so that would have been too tight. For Fedora I can probably get a few thousands easily but we just can't afford to ship them at the moment. Another cost for Canonical was the custom duties which they would pay when people were asking as well. On the bright side we are trying to raise more funds and do more things, but it is a slow process and no an easy one. I hope I have covered the topic so everybody knows where we stand. Any suggestion that we could implement to help providing CDs again is of course welcome. Thanks.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Editing event map

by সাজেদুর রহিম জোয়ারদ ার

Dear Fred I think I made a mistake not to make you informed improperly. Actually at my last mail to You, I want to say that we are organizing three events in this SFD-2012 from FOSS Bangladesh. First one was registered by me on the 8th July. After that we planned to organize two more event as to spread out the knowledge and to reach as more people we could on the same day on the 15th of September 2012. Today we confirmed about the event in Rajshahi and made our City and Team Pages onwards. Lastly I mailed you with the coordinates as to register the second event with our same team and team leader in the event map. But somehow I failed to make you dazzled and you have updated our first event with the second event coordinates. Hope You could understood the situation and please take necessary steps to get the event map corrected with the both events by FOSS Bangladesh.
