Announcements may be somewhat out of scope for Wikinews, but well, Linux Magazin has already covered this [1], so why not to give it a try? … Just submitted [2, 3] for the editors’ approval.

I’m pretty sure that, OTOH, the report of the celebration of EFD worldwide /will be/ very well within the scope. -- FSF associate member #7257

Hello Fred, Great! Unfortunately here in Brazil from January to February the schools are on holiday. Maybe to 2015 we can talk about a date later (after february) to EFD.

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Dear all, We are launching a new celebration as announced in August, around Open Educational Resources and Free Educational Software called Education Freedom Day [1] which will be celebrated on January 18th, 2014 (Saturday). The registration just opened and follow our other events process with a wiki page creation [2] and then registration [3]! The date has been chosen as mid school year in order to somewhat make an update on any project an education institution has been involved with, and look at what to deploy the next school year. There are nowadays hundreds of resources which we will try to list (a few of them at least) in our wiki [4] which goes from specific tuition to complete solutions depending on what your focus is. Some involve software, some don't (except for the materials to follow). We hope that you will be able to gather as many educators/teachers/professors as possible and make them discover OER communities and the immense possibilities that goes together with them. EFD support questions will be handled on the efd mailing list[5] or efd IRC channel #efday @ Freenode.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2013 in Turkey

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Thanks a lot for the follow up. As you see we have since been discussing on whether we should go back to having a place on our infrastructure to host events photos and videos. This is definitely a good thing and hopefully we'll be able to move forward on the plan. Have a nice and safe trip!

Re: [SFD-discuss] hosting media files

by Frederic Muller - DFF

ok, so I looked at bit... and wasted 2/3 hours watching videos from some conferences hehe. I'm glad others came back with more suggestions so I don't feel pressured. At the end I find the idea of Mediagoblin similar to getting an image plugin (well image+video now) without the risk of not being supported. I unfortunately couldn't find any API like the one we're using on our website for Flick'r, to display "the latest and greatest". Maybe I missed it so please don't hesitate to let me know... :) In the meantime if anyone has more suggestion please feel free to continue the thread. Thanks.

Thanx for the reminder! I've used archive.org for other community events, don't know why I didn't think of it for SFD... --Bob.
