Re: [SFD-discuss] My first time

by Seun Ojedeji

Welcome Agbayazon, it's great to read that sfd will be holding in Benin for the first time. Looks like most western Africa will celebrate sfd this year :-) I am from Nigeria and it will be my third time of celebrating SFD, so feel free to ask any question as you can be rest assured of getting a helpful response.

Re: [SFD-discuss] My first time

Hey! Thanks for the very positive email! Don't worry to much about your English, I think it actually reads very fine and a lot of us here are not native speakers (I won't give names, but we know who we are :D ). We're glad to see you part of the group and hear from you. In fact we also have a marketing mailing list where we are supposed to discuss how to improve on what we're doing. Maybe it's a list worth reading/contributing to? SFD is only one side of what we're doing for the past 2 years as we have also Culture Freedom Day and Hardware Freedom Day. We've noticed people involved in Free Culture and Free Hardware do not necessarily care about Free Software the way we do and don't feel targeted much by SFD. Though the work they produce is meant to be shared and improved (and re-shared). So very much the same, but different. Also while we have moved our organization to Hong Kong we are now pressed to become more education oriented and have therefore decided to merge with another project of ours as well as create a Education Freedom Day. There is still some work in localizing the work we've done in English to be able to share it but it's something underway. With this in mind we should have things to do all year round with a lot of different aspect to it. Definitely something worth looking into and sharing locally we hope! Well I'm going to stop here for now, but please don't hesitate to ask questions or tell us how you feel. Thanks a lot!

Re: [SFD-discuss] registration

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! I've just sent you two rather long emails privately answering all the emails you sent me. Hopefully those will help clarify how localization can be done under the wiki and what was wrong in the team page URL you entered. If not do not hesitate to follow up either here or privately. Hopefully the problem should be resolved by now! :D Happy SFD! Fred On 07/22/2013 09:14 AM, Traugott Dew wrote: > I am frustrated over this registration. At each stage my pages are > passed.

Thanks a lot. I still let both languages appear as the templates for country/city and/or team are different.

registration

by Traugott Dew

I am frustrated over this registration. At each stage my pages are passed. The name of my team page appears in the URL as I enterred it http://softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Ghana/Ho Bankoe/GLOSS-Club and yet I am informed to check my URL each time I click the submit button. I tried to localise part of the pages of my entry but it is considered weird! Is that the reason I cannot register my team? Is there any other way out wolako

My first time

by médard Agbayazon

Hello everyone, This is the first time I write on this list even though I am a long time subscriber. Just notify you that I associate with my friends to create a new LUG (CotonouLug) in Cotonou, Benin. I have already registered on the SFDweb site. We are actively preparing for the first time SFD in Benin for 21 September. I am happy to belong to this group for the promotion of free software and will be happy to hear from you. Apologies for the quality of my English.
