Hi!
For the countdown it is tricky. You can either host one yourself (we
explain how to do that in the wiki) or else we could host a 2nd version
for you. We have other French speaking teams using the "default" one so
we cannot modify that one.
To do that we would have to update the countdown code and probably add
another extension to the banner while still taking the files in the same
wiki directory. Are you interested?
Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Countdown currently available in 5 languages

Hi!
As you can see from the Brazil page the countdown has been inserted by
placing this code below the country/city/team name in the page:
{{https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC-3-pt_br.png|alt
Comemore o SFD 2018 no sábado, 15 de Setembro|align="right"}}
Hope that answers your question.
Happy SFD!

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2018 registration soft opening
by Frederic Muller - DFF
Hi!
Yes it seems you're the second person who didn't receive the email. We
are not sure why this is happening, it could also be your mail server
totally discarding the email as we are sure they are being sent
(especially since you also received the mailing list subscription).
In the meantime we did validate your registration and your event is
appearing on the map. So no problem on our end on that part or for
people to see your event when looking at the map.
Thank you to escalate the issue though and this is definitely something
we need to fix in the near future.
Happy SFD!

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2018 registration soft opening
by Zephyr Waitzman
Hi, guys!
Yesterday, I registered for Xidian Open Source Community in Xi'an, China.
However, I don't receive registered confirm email until now except a
mail which is for confirming subscribe the sfd announce mailing list,
of course I reply to subscribe. Nothing else also is in spam.
Today, I check the map in SFD website which my team have been on. So,
does that mean my registration successful?
I think whether it's that I have registered a wiki account for editing
wiki page before this registration, so I don't receive other email
after submitting the form.

- Oh, and it looked so good on the website :-/
If you write up some article that explains the situation and asks for
sponsorship, we can try to help spread the word on social media
(depending on whether sponsorship vs. achieving the actual payment is
the main issue...). Kielux isn't huge, but it could be a start.
Just curious, if you have the time for it: Where did you move? And from
where? (or if there's an article about it, just link to it)

That's a browser cache thing where the 2018coords.txt file inside which
the coordinates are stored doesn't get refreshed that quickly. If you
open the file directly in the browser and refresh it then the marker
will appear.

Yes.. we would like it too. As I explained briefly to Maren we've been
out of funds for over 4 years now. And while doing DFD was supposed to
bring more it just didn't work out this way at all. We're still working
on it though and I want to be optimistic the situation will unlock
itself this year. :-)

Ooops. I always go to www. I guess I need to add a redirect. Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2018 registration soft opening
by Frederic Muller - DFF
Hi!
Yes the arrows move the map... I guess it's a (long) minor bug. We've
been trying to rewrite (for the 3rd time) the registration app but are
still unsure about ways to handle some of the cumbersome things we have
today. So we're really just maintaining the current app and it does the
job. We prefer to focus on what we feel more important issues.
So now sponsor wise we haven't been very lucky and while naming people
who sponsor us we haven't received any fund for the 4th year now. Some
said they would but haven't contributed, some are due to the fact we
moved to a new country and registering our new entity has been a
challenge. Luckily we managed to find a solution earlier this year but
it hasn't kicked in to help us receive funds yet.
And no Gandi is not a sponsor and while they did contact us a while back
they never actually followed up (Gandi APAC). On the infrastructure side
we've been sponsored by Linode for the web server and Canonical for the
mailing list. We no longer (and for quite a while now) receive funds
from Canonical.
Web development and all the little technical things are done by us.
We hope that clarifies your questions.
Thank you for asking :-)

Ok. I actually don't like top item not being clickable. We can however
add a sub-menu which does the same.
