Re: [SFD-discuss] HFD registration is up!

by Kevin Cole

I'm not (yet) enough of a hardware hacker to play in this camp as anything but a member of the "slightly washed" masses attending rather than organizing. Unlike the unwashed masses, I'm evangelizing the importance of hardware freedom as the new revolution taking place. I just am not quite part of it yet. Hence "slightly washed". ;-) However, last week, I spread the word to our local hackerspace and a few robotics mailing lists in the area, hoping they will bite and organize something.

Dear all, It is confirmed that teams who register their Hardware Freedom Day (www.hfday.org) event before _*March 15, 2013*_ will receive an event kit (tshirts, banner, poster, stickers, balloons, etc). Simply go to http://www.hfday.org/cgi-bin/register.py to register now :) Pockey On 02/22/2013 01:34 AM, Frederic Muller - DFF wrote: > Dear all, > > As discussed previously, Hardware Freedom Day[1] is set for April 20th, > 2013.

HFD registration is up!

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Dear all, As discussed previously, Hardware Freedom Day[1] is set for April 20th, 2013. We are just launching both the mailing list[2] and the registration[3] right now (hopefully without too many glitches). While we haven't confirmed any sponsor yet we are confident to raise enough funds to get a team pack ready and on time for the event. So don't wait, rush to the HFD wiki[4], create your event page[5] and register your event[3]! HFD support questions will be handled on the hfd mailing list[2]. Thanks a lot and happy HFD! ---- The Digital Freedom Foundation Board [1] http://www.hfday.org/ [2] http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/hfd-discuss [3] http://www.hfday.org/cgi-bin/register.py [4] http://wiki.hfday.org/ [5] http://wiki.hfday.org/CreateYourEventpage

As mentioned here http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/blog/206-wiki-under-maintenance we had to do some work on the wiki. The current status is that the wiki farm is usable which is why both HFD and CFD wikis are back up. For SFD there are about 1200 spam pages which I need to clean up and that is being worked on. > * Are you aquainted with http://hardwarefreedomday.org/ ? The domain was registered and unused by someone who organizes SFD in his city. We tried to get the domain back over a year ago and then that person replied he would make one HFD for himself first and then let us have the domain. At the end he changed his mind and decided not to let us have the domain. So except for the few email exchanges we had, and the fact that he organizes SFD regularly and called his team Software Freedom Day International last year, we are not related to that individual.

DFF registers, announces HFD, CFD and SFD

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Dear all, Digital Freedom Foundation (formerly known as Software Freedom International) is proud to announce its new incorporation in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. While the charity status is still pending approval as our bylaws, goals and three-year plan are being reviewed, the organization has just been incorporated and we opened our bank account on February 14th. We can therefore officially announce our plans for 2013 including the exciting things you already know about, and the new exciting stuff we have had in our pipeline for quite some times now. We will of course continue with the current schedule of two annual worldwide celebrations of Culture and Software Freedom respectively called Culture Freedom Day and Software Freedom Day. Both will be celebrated as planned, respectively the 3rd Saturday of May and the 3rd Saturday of September, putting CFD on Saturday 18 May and SFD on Saturday 21 September this year. Events registration will open around mid March for CFD and early June for SFD. As usual early SFD registrants gets to receive a free team pack and we are still trying to raise sufficient funds to provide the same benefits for CFD events. Now to the exciting new stuff: if you follow us on identi.ca or twitter, you then already know that we are launching a new celebration around Open Hardware called Hardware Freedom Day and which will be celebrated one month before Culture Freedom Day on April 20 2013. As Open Hardware mixes a bit of the three pillars on which we focus (software, art/culture and hardware) we have chosen this date to enable people to either merge HFD and CFD (as open hardware necessary involves design, which arguably involves artists) or only focus on the part they feel more relevant to them by only celebrating one or the other international day. In the future we are planning to move HFD earlier in the year to balance the three celebrations every four months and have HFD closer to Christmas as well, so people can show off all the cool open hardware gifts they got during the holiday season. Last but not least our yearly plan includes two other major milestones: the SFD Summit which was postponed from last year, which we need to realign with our current endeavours (HFD,CFD and SFD), and creating a curriculum about the digital freedoms we celebrate covering Free Software, Free Culture and Open Hardware. Both need further considerations as we are in the early stages of planning and will warrant dedicated announcements in due time. We would like to thank our former board members with a special mention to Matt Oquist, SFI founder, treasurer and vice president until end of 2012 with whom we obviously wouldn't be where we are today. Another thank you goes to our long term and faithful sponsors and partners would have followed us for years and without whom we couldn't provide teams with the schwags and competition prizes. Those are namely Canonical, Google, Linode, the Free Software Foundation, Linux Magazine, the Linux Journal and Lemote. To conclude our next focus will therefore be Hardware Freedom Day, on Saturday 20 April 2013 and official registration will open early next week. So get your hackerspace in order and join us to celebrate! ---- Digital Freedom Foundation ---- ps: hfd mailing lists are also pending and hopefully we should resolve the last issues within a few days. In the meantime don't hesitate to use the sfd-discuss list to ask any question.
