Debian events at Software Freedom Day
by Luca BRUNO Sept. 11, 2012

Sept. 11, 2012

Hi all SFDers :) During the upcoming SFD celebrations, supporters of the Debian project will be joining the parties worldwide with Debian-related talks/events. For example, talks by Debian Developers will be held in Italy and Brazil. In order to give even more press coverage to the SFD, the Debian Publicity Team is planning a press release about the SFD and Debian-related topics. We'd like to be notified about any such events that is going to happen during your local SFD, and receive info about it! The goal is to have a raw collection of Debian-events for a press release on our site shortly before the SFD (hopefully)... Thanks for your help, and have a nice SFD :) Cheers, Luca -- .''`. | ~<[ Luca BRUNO ~ (kaeso) ]>~ : :' : | Email: lucab (AT) debian.org ~ Debian Developer `. `'` | GPG Key ID: 0x3BFB9FB3 ~ Free Software supporter `- | HAM-radio callsign: IZ1WGT ~ Networking sorcerer

SFD server issues
by Frederic Muller - DFI Sept. 11, 2012

Sept. 11, 2012

Hi! We're having trouble with our web server which just hung again. It's the 3rd time in a bit more than 24h. The mailing lists are on a different machine so communication can't be affected at least. At this stage I am a bit at loss on how to troubleshoot the issue. 2 reboots ago the machine stayed up for less than an hour, and the last restart for about 3 hours. It seems to be a new problem though nothing new has been installed, reconfigured. I'm thinking to create a new VPS instance and move the Joomla! sites there, while keeping moinmoin instances on the current server. As far as I know there is nothing else running on the box. Any advice is of course welcome. Thank you all for your patience. Fred

The wiki Artwork page
by Frederic Muller - DFI Sept. 9, 2012

Sept. 9, 2012

Hi! The discussion is about this page: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork I see more and more people providing translation and more stuff to the Artwork page and it's great! Now the page starts to be a bit long and I feel this is a problem. Am I right to think so? If this is the case there are a few things which can be done: 1. Put translations of artwork in separate pages 2. Enforce the current Artwork separation and extend it. At the moment we have separate pages for: - logo - banners (vague definition) - countdown - general artwork/others still we tend to put a copy of those (logo, banners and countdown) in the Artwork page. We could have another page for the swags artworks make Artwork page a link page to all different types of Artworks. What do you guys think? Thanks. Fred
