If anyone who downloaded it previously could take the initiative it'd be nice. Else I think Diego has a direct link for the new one, but not much bandwidth to offer. Fred

Hi! The OpenDisc which we mastered and shipped has now officially been release by the OpenDisc project and you can find the download links from their site http://www.theopendisc.com (hosted on sourceforge so you'll get a mirror close to you. For all the distro which we added on the disc they are all available on their respective website (and more). Still missing would be the FreeCulture disk. I think we're a bit tight to get a torrent up and running so I would recommend to download the current available version which is very very similar to the one we shipped. (check the resource page on the wiki @ http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources Thanks.

Hi again, A second opinion thinks it's Apache that needs love. We're experimenting with the fine tuning and see how it goes. So no downtime for now we hope. We'll keep you update as the "experiment" progresses. Thanks.

Hey Luca, Thought we'd let you know of our Software Freedom Day event happening in Rugby, UK: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2012/UK/Rugby/Rugby%20Linux%20Users%20Gr… The wiki page is slightly out of date, but here are the Debian-specific bits! - Our event has a less formal structure, instead of talks we're running a series of rolling workshops that visitors can drop in and out of including Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Scratch - One of our SFD2012 event partners in the UK is credativ (credativ.co.uk / credativ.de), who employ several DDs worldwide and who have supported all Rugby SFD events to date. We should have at least one DD present on the day - almost all Linux-based machines being used on the day for visitors will be running Debian or a Debian-derived distribution (Ubuntu 12.04 for example). - On the day we'll have a FreedomBox for visitors to check out - Our Raspberry Pi machines will be running Raspbian and we'll be using them to help local children and parents learn Scratch Hope this provides some useful information for your press release! Thanks, Nick Morrott Rugby Linux Users Group Rugby Software Freedom Day 2012
