> Bueno pues aca en Guatemala lo tenemos como el Dia el Software Libre [translation: here in Guatemala we use Free Software Day] A eso se debe nuestra consulta, pues "Dia del Software Libre" se traduce de vuelta al inglés como "Free Software Day" y no como "Software Freedom Day". [translation: that's the reason for our question, because "Dia del Software Libre" translates back to English as "Free Software Day" and not as "Software Freedom Day".] ¡Gracias! Marcelo

From Hanoi and wondering from the rest of asia
by David Tremblay July 4, 2007

July 4, 2007

It's been 4 years now we started to do the SFD in Ha Noi (Viet Nam) while looking at http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/2007 We started wondering why there's so few team in asia. If you have friends (or friends of friends) that live in the region. You should ring them and ask them to do something. I'm especially thinking of China who should have at least 2 teams. If you check more there's no team in north africa and none in Brazil. If you have friends there, ring them -- David Tremblay Information Technology for development analyst www.ngocentre.org.vn System Administrator Oxfam Québec *emails:* david(a)ngowiki.net // david(a)ngocentre.org.vn *Phones:* Mobile : 84-4-0912 474 995 SIP : 1-747-004-8537 skype : ict4ngo *Webs:* www.oxfam.qc.ca // http://blog.ngowiki.net // www.hanoilug.org *Messaging* jabber network :ict4ngo@jabber.org

110 teams registered!
by Pia Waugh July 4, 2007

July 4, 2007

Hi all, we now have over 110 teams already registered for SFD 2007! This is particularly exciting as we are still 2 1/2 months out. We'll be putting out a press release about SFD in the coming week, so if any teams want to polish up their pages for mass consumption, or provide us with some quotes for the PR that would be great! Rock on for SFD 2007! Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org/

Thanks all for your advice. Shehab ----- Original Message ---- From: Russell John <russell(a)linux.org.bd> To: Open discussions about SFD <sfd-discuss(a)sf-day.org> Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 11:28:04 PM Subject: Re: [SFD-discuss] Two regional teams from one the same region Dear Shehab, It's great to know that you want to be a part of SFD '08. Now that you've shown your interest (thanks!), you've got two options: 1) Joining our team: We're the same team that organised SFD '05 and '06, and we're ready to rock again. If you're an individual or an organisation interested in celebrating SFD, then please get in touch with us at <sfd AT linux.org.bd>. Someone will get in touch with you with further details. We're a very large Linux Users Group and our members are scattered all over the country. No matter where you're located, and we can get together to organise an event. 2) Form your own team: If you want to organise an event independently, you can go ahead. In that case, we'll not be covering your event details on our press release, and we won't be able to send you our publications, t-shirts, and other promotional materials. However, we can provide you guidelines and supports that you might need.

Hi, Thanks for your quick answer. For example, there is already a regional team for the country, Bangladesh (http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/asia/bangladesh?action=show&redirect=te…) Is it possible to create a new regional team for Bangladesh or join the team as a partner?

Great question! My first recommendation is to contact the team directly using the details on their page. If you still want to run your own event because you have a different audience or are in a different area, go for it! We had about 15 teams in Australia last year. We are a big spread out country so it makes sense to have more local events than a big regional event. Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "The future is here.

SFD Geek Exchange Program?
by Matthew Davidson June 22, 2007

June 22, 2007

Hi All, We're seriously getting down to planning the Coffs Harbour (NSW Australia) event for this year, and given this is our third year of running a casual seminar-type event, trying to work out how to add some novelty. Lord knows everybody's sick of the sight of me. It occurred to me that it would be nice to encourage some people from further afield to come up (or down) to Coffs to give presentations on whatever cool things they're doing with free software. In fact, beyond my own selfish need for new speakers at our own event, there may be quite a few people around the world willing to travel a bit to spread the word beyond their usual circle on whatever they're doing. I'm thinking that it would be generally useful if people based in major metropolitan areas offered their services to teams in more regional areas, even if it's just the next town up the road. But before I started cross-posting to half a dozen LUG lists offering sofa space*, I wanted to check whether this might be considered poor etiquette or just a bad idea. Perhaps it could be considered inter-team poaching? Matthew. * Incidentally, I have two of the most comfortable sofas known to mankind, and live half a block away from a rather splendid pub. -- Alma Technology - The future is free and open http://www.almatech.net.au ...
