Hi there. I'm on it (actually I finished the images) but haven't uploaded it yet. I'm gonna upload them in the next 2 hours...

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Thank you for the answer. We actually discuss with the topic at length with Alexandro and maybe others 3 years ago. There was a small bug in the display of the SVG between Inkscape and the rendering engine making the text slightly off. That's about as much as I remember. I can't even remember how to edit the file now if it's not using a text editor. So back to what we want is actually replacing the current PNG files for our countdown with SVG file(s). We believe this would help us better manage translations and re-editing the file year after year. So it should be able to display the SFD countdown image (we have the SVG source so that should be ok) and deduct 1 day everyday as we get closer to SFD. Also the current availability of the files make it possible for people to chose the SFD date based on their timezone. So it is pretty simple to just copy & paste the code and insert it in a blog or website. The date changing every year requires us to remake the graphics and therefore know a bit of the local language. If we had the text in text files I believe this could be simpler to manage. For example today we have 15 translations which we cannot publish because we are unable to edit the file in each particular language. Well I hope I was clear enough. If you have some hints we'll really appreciate. Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

Hi! I'm trying to look at this again (as the svg is on the wiki and I was hoping the display bug we had back then had been fixed). Looking at the internet didn't really help me so far and the Inkscape site is giving me a 502 https://inkscape.org/en/learn/animation/ . Does anybody feel familiar enough to get us started again? Thanks a lot.

German countdown

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! I've noticed Edgar from the FSFE has edited the text for the German countdown but the graphics haven't been modified since 2013. We have actually slightly updated the design this year but to get it working you can either update: 01.png, 00.png and 00here.png which have the date of the event of this year and the coming year. You can find the original SVG file here http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/de?action=AttachFile&do=get&ta… and then you'll have to upload them there: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/de?action=AttachFile Else you would need to take the English countdown and do at least 23 images (as SFD is in 21 days roughly). The English image file is here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/en?action=AttachFile&do=get&ta… I can activate it now as it will only show the wrong images the day before SFD but I would just like to be sure it is happening ;-) If you go for the new design of course generating the 99 files will be nice for next year. We will also have to remove the old ones before you can upload the new ones. Just let us know. Thank you. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD wiki is live

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Thank you very much for your help. I unfortunately cannot very the content ;-) but all the links look correct so I suppose the translation is fine! We've added a Localize page at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Localize which needs a bit more work but gives directions onto what needs to be translated: those are the Frontpage which you just did, the StartGuide which is very long and complete and the createyourteampage. For the later the screenshots need to be updated as we have changed the wiki theme. Those with the current ones it is still very understandable. Then you also can do the CountDown in Sinhala if you think there is a need. So based on your available time go for what you feel comfortable with, or maybe for longer pages start with a summary and make it longer as you get more time. Let us know if you have more questions. Thank you.

Hi Fred, I completed the first page translation in "Sinhala" http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/සිංහල can you check it whether its in order? Is there any other things to do than the first page?

Upload images locally

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! I've noticed a few of SFD organizers tend to link images from outside of our domain. The problem with that is that sometimes URLs change or sites just disappear. I would recommend to upload the images locally and link them as per the wiki syntax {{attachment:image_name.jpg}}. Thank you not to upload 10MiB images but mainly since our hosting is sponsored by Linode we do not really have size constraint. We've also modified the css to have attached images responsive so they'll always scale to the screen width whatever the size of viewers' devices. That was missing from the default theme. You can check http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2016/Colombia/Cartagena for an example. Should you find out other non responsive parts please let us know and we'll try to fix it. Thank you very much. Fred

we're finally all mobile ready!

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! This is 2016 and we are finally mobile ready, both on our website and our wiki. The registration form still has tables for the previous year one got involved with SFD. We might change that table in the future too... Should you have any related question or problems please do not hesitate to ask us. Thank you. Fred
