Re: [SFD-discuss] Theme for the SFD

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi again, Since this is a very interesting subject and something we do every year for our local event I believe it really depends on who you expect your visitors to be or who you want to attract. SFD globally doesn't have any specific theme besides promoting Free Software. Local teams know their communities better and are free to chose specific topics of interests (or not). I will need to go back in my past events and look at the various themes we have chosen over the years. I hope you are subscribed to the sfd-discuss mailing list and if not you should in order to follow up on what other teams have done in the past or are planning to do this year. sfd-discuss subscription page is here: http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss So expect a bit more on the topic in the coming responses. Thank you.

SFD registration opened

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Just a soft announcement as we're slowly migrating to SSL and had a few issues with mixed content not appearing. So now registration seems to be ok and we're letting the discussion list know. If no issue is noted for the next 24 hours we'll make a formal announcement on the announce list tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience and support. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] proposal: IRC vs Matrix

by Adonay Felipe Nogueira

I would stay clear from Riot.im probably. There are other Matrix clients, and also other service providers besides matrix.org. I'm not a Matrix user, but as far as I have researched, Riot.im requires non-free software. Although one has it available in F-Droid, it's not free/libre software for most people, so Riot.im free/libre software supporters would probably have to do double work: - Advertise for Matrix. - If advertising for Riot.im, make sure that people are getting the free/libre version. Because the standard one is nonfree. - Also, the web version of Riot.im is also nonfree for the web site visitor/client/guest. For more information, see: <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Talk:Riot-im>. Personally, and as my signature shows: I'm first/mainly in favor of supporting GNU Ring... and using Tox only as fall-back. For *scheduled* group chats, I still prefer IRC though. Respectfully, Adonay. -- - https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"? Ele não é livre. Por favor, use o GNU Ring ou o Tox. - Contato: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno#vCard - Arquivos comuns aceitos (apenas sem DRM): Corel Draw, Microsoft Office, MP3, MP4, WMA, WMV. - Arquivos comuns aceitos e enviados: CSV, GNU Dia, GNU Emacs Org, GNU GIMP, Inkscape SVG, JPG, LibreOffice (padrão ODF), OGG, OPUS, PDF (apenas sem DRM), PNG, TXT, WEBM.

Was very happy to see the wiki up and showing 2017 information ( http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2017 ). Already added information for the event in my area to the wiki. I've been by telling all the computer and programming groups in my area about the local event and referring them to the SFD wiki site for more information. I think our local event will be small this year (compared to previous years when our Linux users group used to host it), but it should be fun. Sincerely, Laura

Re: [SFD-discuss] project dead?

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! SFD is definitely not dead. Indeed we don't spend much time on IRC anymore but do check and answer emails, got the wiki ready since April and should do the registration this weekend. Sorry if anyone had a doubt.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tom: I'm in the #SFD channel on Freenode regularly, but mostly idling there since most of my time is Away From Keyboard irc://irc.freenode.net/#sfd or http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23sfd I'm not sure there are any organizers of SFD or DFF in IRC. Have a look at https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ It is the active page, with links to the wiki and team registration pages. *** Note to Frederic Muller: The unsecured non-SSL site at http://softwarefreedomday.org/ still shows the "We're working hard on fixing the small glitches. We'll be back soon" message. It should probably be redirected to the secure site. - --Bob. On 2017-08-25 01:53 PM, Tom Behets wrote: > Hi, > > for some weeks now, no one response on IRC.
