Well I'm getting "Unknown Paste ID!". It's probably something worth adding to the SFD wiki next to the 101 reasons to use foss and in the potential activity lists in the StartGuide too.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Goodies for SFD 2012

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi! Unfortunately [2] is an alphabetical sort of the wiki pages and thus is not a good reference to know whether you were among those 200 teams. However if you did fill up your address then you should be getting the goodies (assuming they are not lost or stolen on the way). Now regarding the shipment of goodies we have been through a series of set backs this year both technical and personal ones. We are currently packing, printing the labels and awaiting the last pieces. Hopefully we will be able to ship the first 100 batch during the weekend.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Pictures-banners for our Facebook and Google Plus profiles

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi! Seems I never got this email as well (found it while looking at the SFD site). We already have a collection of promotional banners available at: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Promote with all the source files available attached to the page making it easy to localize. You may also find those 2 pages of interest: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Marketing http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork Fred On 08/13/2012 07:27 AM, Stathis Iosifidis wrote: > Hello, > > Since I'm not into graphics, can someone create a banner to add it to > our facebook and Google Plus profiles? > Those banners have different size as I understand.
