Hi, Is it possible to make the following page: https://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/sw do not currently have permissions to be able to do so. It may be helpful to use something like GitLab CI to create the png files from the SVG ones if this has already been automated. Regards, Benson

Tried to register. Created a wiki page for this year. The registration page keeps saying "The SFD Wiki page you supplied doesn't seem to exist. Please go back and create your page or modify the value you entered." Wondering if the space in the name of the city is an issue. Entered %20 to represent the space. Anyway, am unable to register at this time.

Hi I just wanted to know how I can help with Persian one. I think we in Iran (or even Afghanistan) will celebrate SFD one day before the official day since we have Friday as holiday Iran and Afghanistan. Yet I am not sure if this would be the decision for all (possible) teams. How this could be managed? -- Regards, Mostafa Ahangarha

SFD 2021 registration soft opening
by Frederic Muller - DFF 27 Jun '21

27 Jun '21

Dear all, We've opened registration and it seems to work. We'd be happy to get feedback if you register and have issues. I noticed Maceio (Brazil) and Bogota (Colombia) already created wiki pages. The wiki has been updated to allow automatic page creation and moved to HTTPS. Note that all graphics with http only will probably not be displayed in browser having strict SSL policy (which blocks mixed content). So be careful with that. In the meantime we probably will have to move away from Moinmoin later this year as support for python3 is far from here and doing an upgrade is going to be a headache. That means also rewriting the registration script (somehow a good thing considering its lack of features). Also we need to actively provide online platform information which are free software in order for people to run online events. So lots of little and big things. We'll attack countdowns and artwork in the coming week. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Fred

First I am sorry If I am using mailing list in a bad way. I am not used to it. Please share some good tutorial on this issue. I need to learn it properly. :D Now lets go on topic. > I remember last year, when we offered you to take care of the social media account suddenly you went very quiet... I am sorry for that. I don't remember it now. But even now, I would refuse for that face our issue is not who to handle social media. I think we need to discuss why SFD and how. We need to make some policy or plan or guideline. Then comes social media, website, etc. One friend mentioned Open Source. I strongly believe SFD is the day we need to talk about Software Freedom. This is kind of prohibited concept to be discussed in Open Source world. Let's keep out focus on Software Freedom and inform people about the importance of it. Rest would be handled in one way or another. Regarding Covid, I think we had this discussion last year as well. Sure I am not advocating to have physical gathering. That is up to people. Last year, we had a small online gathering in Iran and I myself managed to have a physical gathering in Kabul, Afghanistan (which was safe at that time to do so). I know some other people also had online gathering. Sure online meeting cannot be the same as physical one, but it has it own pros and cons. So Lets embrace it and see how we can make best use of it. I don't suggest we tell people what to do. SFD should be community based program. At best, we can help with propagation, networking and (perhaps most important) provide some suggestions on how to have SFD 2021. SFD website has some kind of such material on it already, but those suggestions are not helpful now. We need to make some new ones.This is what we need to discuss. I would suggest having some attempt to talk to some of FLOSS organizations to provide some resources (like BBB) for SFD related programs (during september). That can be provided to those who already registered their program on SFD website so we can verify that they are going to hold SFD related programs. I am sure we can manage that. Even with limitted resources, we can make some schedule for registered programs so that those resources can be distributed among all without putting pressure on server. These are my rough ideas. And finally, we need to have some way to update site. website is outdated. it is still talking about SFD 2020! and one question: What about DFD and HFD 2021? Are there same people (not) working on those? ;) Any possibility to work on those as well? Regards, Mostafa Ahagnarha

Re: [SFD-discuss] Coordination on how to handle SFD 2021

I'm planning to do SFD 2021 online again this year. Last year I did it in conjunction with LibreMiami using Jitsi. We were the only ones who showed, but it was a lot of fun. I also had to run the event the week before the usual SFD date, so that and unclear communication of timezone differences may have prevented some people from attending. I advertised SFD on social media a lot last year. I shared the wiki link so people could find events they were interested in. I know the Computer Science Teachers Association was talking about Software Freedom Day after I brought up the subject. Don't know if any of them did private events for their students or attended some of the online world events. Was curious, for those who did something online last year, how was the turn out? Did any guests have trouble connecting to the event because they weren't sure when or where or for other reasons? I think doing things online for areas where the logistics of an in person gathering are an issue is a great idea. I also think doing it online allows more people from different areas to attend. Some conventions that moved online last year and are going back to doing it in person will continue to do a hybrid approach to reach people who can't travel to attend the event. If any of the various groups around the world want to coordinate so that people can go from one event in one timezone to another afterwards in another timezone, I think that would be a really nice idea. Recently attended a series of events on climate change online. They were all put on by different people and you signed up for each event. However, one web site organized it all and listed all the events with their descriptions so you could sign up for the ones you were interested in. It was really well done. It was also nice to be able to attend events hosted in other countries and find out about how things are there. Everyone having a shared goal was enough to bring the whole thing together. Would really like to see SFD do something similar. They wouldn't be responsible for the events, just for being a central place where people could learn about the events being hosted by various groups around the world and how to attend them. Sincerely, Laura
