Was finally able to register successfully. Had trouble using the registration page when there are spaces in names and the URL has to handle the spaces.

Countdown available in English and French for now.
by Frederic Muller - DFF July 3, 2021

July 3, 2021

Dear all, We just enabled English and French (had to do 70 pngs...). We'll do the language we speak and for existing ones, it's only 3 images to redo. Those languages are: - Portuguese-Brasil - Portuguese-Portugal - Spanish - Catalan - Serbian Cyrillic - Serbian Latin - Estonian - Arabic - Greek Then some languages have been done but not up to 83 days before SFD. Those are: - German - Ukrainian - Russian - Persian And then.. the others need to be done from scratch if needed. Thank you for your help in the matter. Fred

Hi everyone, I am happy to see SFD is still alive. I have these points: - Lets choose one hashtag so we can find each other easier on social media. Is SFD2021 good? - Let's have an account on Mastodon (on fediverse). - Make a guideline for people to know how to celebrate SFD during the pandemic including hold an online program on ethical/FLOSS platforms. -- Regards, Mostafa Ahangarha

Countdown - Kiswahili

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

Link to the post is here: https://scholar.social/@lmemsm/106483976900394349 Was wondering why I wasn't seeing too many SFD related posts. May be the instance I'm on, Still have a lot to learn about the platform.

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 June 27, 2021

June 27, 2021

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
