While we just started the discussion if someone knows anything or has any idea please share with us. Thanks. Fred

Hi again! Just received a prompt confirmation that the OpenDisc will release their 2013 edition within the next 2 days. We also exchange ideas on the status of CD/DVD media disks and what would be the "obvious" evolution for such a project. Hope that satisfies your curiosity ;-) Thanks.

We feel that CD/DVD are devices from the past, most computers you buy nowadays are shipped without any CD/DVD drives and we were sending those to very few who actually couldn't download the files. In fact with enough preparation you can surely download the same content in your own language (we don't all speak English in our country). I think a better tool for us to work on is a USB burning station where people can come in with their own stick and get the software needed. I actually think there are existing projects doing similar things. Still we can definitely get in touch with the OpenDisc project and see whether we could have an updated version of the disc. Besides shipping 1 or 2 CDs is far from enough for any team and you had to burn the other 99 or 199 or 499 pieces of the puzzle. We've also considered getting a USB disk sponsor. Besides the fact that it's been hard to find new sponsors if someone was willing to do so it would still now really make sense to get 2 to 300 USB sticks of 16GB and shipped them to teams as the same problem of giving them away stands and the money equivalent would be much more valuable to the organization for other gifts or activities. So we'll send an email to OpenDisc... Thanks. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] Goodies arrived in Germany^W UK

by Steve Rainwater

Our SFD stuff arrived last Friday here in Dallas, TX. Looks good. I've also received our Creative Commons and FSF goodies. Still nothing from the EFF this year - has anyone else requested and received anything from the EFF? As the other posted indicated, the SFD T-shirt sizing is different than American size standards. The M/L are both very small and experienced significant shrinkage after the first washing. The L is roughly equivalent to a US small size. I'm a skinny guy and normally wear a M T-shirt but the SFD L was too small and tight to fit me. Trying out the XXXL today. It's slightly larger than a standard Large now but I'm hoping it will be about right after shrinkage. Maybe next time you can find some T-shirts made from pre-washed/pre-shrunk fabric, that may help with the sizing issues. -Steve On Sat, 2013-08-31 at 14:00 +0800, Frederic Muller - DFF wrote: > > On 08/31/2013 01:57 AM, Michael Dorrington wrote: > > > On 29/08/13 17:39, Edgar "Fast Edi" Hoffmann wrote: > > > Hello there. > > > Today the goodies for SFD 2013 arrived in Germany. > > Goodies arrived in UK on Wednesday. > > > > > All in good condition. > > > Nice stuff (as always). > > > The sizes of the T-Shirts are not too fitting (M/L too small, XXXL too > > > wide), but with the ironing labels we'll create our own. > > Same. > > > > Regards, > > Mike. > > > Damned... the L is supposed to be a big L, somewhere between M and > XXXL ;-) We'll need to pay extra attention to this issue next year! > Sorry guys....

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD Hash Tags for Twitter

by Bob Jonkman

There used to be a group !SFD on Identi.ca, but with the conversion from StatusNet to pump.io software it's no longer accessible. A number of people are now running their own StatusNet instances, and on mine I've created http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/sfd Any message I send to !sfd will be forwarded to Twitter and translated to #sfd. This group should be available to anyone on an OStatus-enabled social network, such as StatusNet, Friendica or Diaspora. And if that software has a Twitterbridge plugin, messages can be forwarded to Twitter too. I encourage all FLOSS folks to run their own social network software, or join an open network. There's a list of StatusNet instances: http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances Many of the ones listed are private or invite-only, but there's a few popular open instances, eg. http://quitter.se/ and https://loadaverage.org/main/login See you online! --Bob.
