SFD 2013 countdown

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! The countdown is ready. In fact there was a little bug in the website javascript which added a month to the displayed countdown which is why we haven't launched it earlier. English is fully ready and all the following languages can be used right now. However someone will need to redo 00.png and 00here.png as the SFD date is written on the image file: Catalan French German Portuguese Estonian Chinese Simplified Persian Arabic Greek For Persian on top of doing those 2 image files someone who speaks the language also need to ensure the alt text on the wiki page is correct. I couldn't find the event date, so maybe it's not written at all, or maybe it's simply not readable in English. And then for the next following languages on top of the 2 image files which need to be redone, days files from today (68) onward are simply missing. If you want a countdown now you'll need to generate them so we can activate the countdown. Else usage is the same as the previous year and describe here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown Any question please let us know. Thanks and enjoy! Fred

That's done to give the possibility for other teams to organize their own event in the same city. I understand that in some places it might not make sense but it's a courtesy we should all give in. A generic SFD page under Melbourne can fit pretty well. You're free to set up whatever title and team name you want in the text of course. Fred

Your registration form hasn't been submitted because obviously there was an error processing it. I've check your wiki name (page history) and the email on file, it does match the one you're using to send this email. Note that wiki login are case sensitive in the form too (maybe that could help), else I can't see any reason why it wouldn't have validated your email and wiki name. So to speed up thing I can offer a few options: - trying to resubmit the form (not sure how many times you've tried that though) - using last year data which we have on file. I would still need the confirmation about the location though, but if address & phone number is the same (and we have it) that could work too - send me your new data through private email and I'll do the filling myself (that should work, if it's me doing it right? ;-) ). So just let us know which option suits you and we will proceed. Note that you still need to create your team/event page, but that couldn't have been the failure reason. Thanks and sorry for the problem. As a side note we're working on a rewriting this part of the software, obviously won't work this year but we hope it will provide a better and faster experience for the years to come. Fred

This will be the third year in succession that I've been the organiser for Melbourne (so anyone on this list who wants to take over, please contact me!). Something unusual happened at the end of the process. In completing the registration, I received the message: "The email address you supplied does not match the supplied SFD wiki login, you need to provide the email you used when creating your SFD Wiki account. Please go back." Double-checking the account on the SFD Wiki, this is certainly *not* the case. Could you please confirm that the Melbourne AU team has been registered as requested?

Hi! I guess everyone saw the previous message, and I'm sorry for that. I was trying to find the sender in the users list and couldn't even find anything. If someone is more familiar with those types of problems I would really appreciate a bit of help. thanks. Fred
