Barnaul, Altai Krai, Russia
by Ivan Shmakov Sept. 22, 2013

Sept. 22, 2013

We’ve had some 40 or so participants at the event, which is roughly the number gathered in 2010, and (I guess) twice as much as there was in both 2011 and 2012. There was a conference, which took perhaps a bit too long to complete, and we were also showing Sintel and Big Buck Bunny. Finally, there was a semi-serious contest on the knowledge of free software, with the open-source Arduino board being the winner’s prize. PS. I hope we’ll manage to bring one or more photos of our event to Wikicommons [1] (and thus under a free license!) shortly.

Countdown(s)
by Frederic Muller - DFF Sept. 20, 2013

Sept. 20, 2013

Hi! A bit in a rush I've just remembered that some languages were missing image 01.png, 00.png and 00here.png meaning that the countdown are not longer appearing correctly for them. Those are: - Estonian - Persian - Arabic - Greek Please can someone who speak any of those language rush to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown , download the svg source file and upload the 3 images under the proper page. Let me know if you need any help (I don't speak any of those languages, but I can do other things ;-) ). Thanks a lot. Fred

[SFD] Ordinary Post - A bad idea
by Shubham Chaudhary Sept. 20, 2013

Sept. 20, 2013

I just received the mail digest and I can see that a lot of guys are facing problems because the mail was sent using ordinary post. I'm also facing similar dilemma in Chandigarh, India. I visited the regional office, then I was redirected to the head office. They're also clueless about it. Finally the head suggested that I'd have to personally go to New Delhi (where all international mails arrive) and ask them. Even if I send one of my teammate there, em. I don't think that they will be able to help us because it's an ordinary post and there is no record for it. Overall my conclusion is that using ordinary mail is a very bad idea because all that the organizers can do now is wait (for it to arrive after the date passes). It's my humble request to Frederic and all other organizers to please look into this and take care of this issue next year. -- Regards, Shubham Chaudhary - http://about.me/shubhamchaudhary
