Re: [SFD-discuss] [SFD-announce] SFD 2015 registration is on!

Hey Fred, Je ne suis pas bon avec les WIKI. Comment vas-tu ? J’ai créé mon groupe après je nage ! Au plaisir, Jimmy From: sfd-announce-bounces(a)sf-day.org [mailto:sfd-announce-bounces@sf-day.org] On Behalf Of Frederic Muller - DFF Sent: 01 August 2015 13:02 To: SFD announcements Subject: [SFD-announce] SFD 2015 registration is on! Dear all, With a bit of delay, the Digital Freedom Foundation is very happy to announce that registration of the twelfth edition of Software Freedom Day <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/> just opened. While the wiki has been ready for some times and a few teams started to create pages registration was another story. In fact our infrastructure needs updates and we still haven't found way to do that easily. Now as far as Free Software is concerned while we see more projects adopting Free Software licenses we also feel end-users still struggle with their proprietary operating systems. At the same time both hardware and software seems a lot more integrated and in some fields it seems that you can just print something with your Free 3D printers, order some kind of Free Hardware controllers online, flash them, hack them and get a complete and finish product running (or flying, or...). We're involved here with people who had no special interest in Free Software or Hardware and discovered it through pursuing their hobbies, and they just love it! On the sponsorship side we have unfortunately lost Canonical financially but they are still providing the mailing list infrastructure (snif snif.. they were our first sponsors). Google and Linode are still supporting us luckily and we are exploring new ventures (though nothing confirmed at this stage). So as usual registration <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py> happens after you have created your event page on the wiki <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/> . We have an exaustive guide here <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide> for newcomers and for the others who need help, the SFD-Discuss mailing <http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss> is probably the best place to get prompt support. As usual we will come back with more details things to do or worth mentioning to bring inspiration and motivation to the celebration on the sfd-discuss mailing list. So get ready to celebrate and happy preparations to all! The Digital Freedom Foundation
