Windows Free Software DVD

by Paul Nijjar

One of our team members (Charles McColm) put together a Windows Free Software disc. This includes the Free Culture Disc I posted earlier. The disc has some limitations. It is English-only and may be limited to 32 bit software. But you can use the framework and modify it to your needs. To download it, go to https://archive.org/details/SFDWINSOFT2014 and click on "All Files: HTTPS" (or start up a torrent if you would like). I do not know whether there is another Windows disc of current software for SFD this year. If not then please feel free to use ours. - Paul

Re: [SFD-discuss] Privacy / IT security movies suggestions?

by Paul Nijjar

You might consider "Terms and Conditions May Apply": http://tacma.net/ . It pretends to be about EULA conditions but is really about surveillance. The movie is not free culture. however. - Paul

Free Culture Discs

by Paul Nijjar

Hello, I joined the mailing list to know that our group has put together a Free Culture Sampler disc of CC-licensed audio. We are burning these tracks to CDs and distributing them at our event. It consists of a selection of curated music tracks, and some sample podcasts. Here is a link to our track listing: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2014/Canada/Kitchener/TWC/FreeCultureSam… There is a zipfile that you can download of all the tracks available here: http://kwsfd.dyn.theworkingcentre.org Please be mindful of our bandwidth. If you are going to distribute the zipfile to many other people please mirror it on your own site. - Paul

Privacy / IT security movies suggestions?

by Fabián Rodríguez - FACIL

Hi everyone, This last weekend I overheard on the radio there was an event in France (country-wide) where several "hacker" events took place (journalist words, not mine). I remember over hearing there were several movie screening on the subject of privacy and IT security. Would anyone here know which films screened over the weekend in France in this context? I don't have any other details, I thought I'd ask here on the off chance someone would have been there. If you have any suggestions of movies in that subject I'd like to hear them. Here is a list of movies related to free open source software we have documented for possible future screenings, let's share any other interesting findings: http://wiki.facil.qc.ca/view/Comit%C3%A9_FACIL_M%C3%A9dias/SQIL2014/Soir%C3… Cheers, Fabian -- Fabián Rodríguez, président, FACIL http://www.legoutdulibre.com / +1-514-880-6322 ~ FACIL, pour l'appropriation collective de l'informatique libre http://facil.qc.ca/fr/contactez-nous

Re: [SFD-discuss] Help from DFF for SFD

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Yes we're also sad for not being able to provide goodies this year, unfortunately we do not have any fund support as we feel it would be way too difficult for us to control what is happening with the money. Best course of action is to look for potential local sponsor whether in the software industry or not. All the best for SFD!

Help from DFF for SFD

by Pranav Kant

We are organizing SFD for the first time in our college. Its sad that there are no goodies this time given to SFD participants this year. I was wondering if any help can be provided to SFD participants this year like funds which we can then use to order goodies on our own. Goodies were good way to make the event more attractive for newcomers and we wish if there had been some goodies this year too. Thank you. -- Regards, Pranav Kant, Department of Computer Science National Institute of Technology Hamirpur http://pricked.in/
