Re: [SFD-discuss] All the best for your SFD event

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi guys! I'm just back from my SFD with the Hong Kong team (as a surprise guest) where I had a great time. It is very nice to read all your responses (which I didn't expect) and the nice individual success stories. It really makes me wish I could attend all your events (I'd have to either be able to teleport and/or live a few more hundred years) For teams who haven't received their pack I would recommend to make a 'thank you' party or dinner with your team/user group and use the goodies to present your report or debriefing. The banner might be a bit overkill but I'm sure the t-shirts, balloons, iron-on stickers and the paper stickers will be well appreciated. Then do keep the "left-overs" as you'll be able to use them next year at 2013 SFD :D Thank you.

Hi all, thank you Fred and SFD team for all your work. In Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, we have survived the earthquakes by relocating to a new SFD venue library. Thank you Christchurch City Council. Just burning off Snowlinux to try, and packing materials for our open day. Have a great Software Freedom Day [1] all!

Re: [SFD-discuss] All the best for your SFD event

by Kevin Cole

I just want to say thanks for all the SFD support in years past. Our event is always six days early, in order to take advantage of a rather large folk festival in the area. That way, it's much easier for us to get a lot of traffic stopping by our table. As this is an outdoor event, most tents and tables don't have electricity. However, this year, with the large batteries, we were able to keep three computers running for almost the entire duration of the festival, from 10:00 AM until 6:30. We've had batteries for three years now. And, this year, someone brought an antenna and telephone "hot-spot". So, for the first time in seven years of SFD, we had an Internet connection, which went a long way towards convincing people that the software we were using was viable for them. Many stopping by are now visitors from years past who took a leap of faith and return to tell us that they're quite happy with the switch. --
