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.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD countdown

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi! Sorry for the late response, was finishing a lot of things including the OpenDisc SFD Edition 2012 and cleaning up the wiki as it seems too complicated for some people to follow the simple requirements of having their team/event page under their country and city (not to mention clicking on a map somewhere around the location where the event is most likely going to happen). /rant The code for both countdown are available (one in the wiki and one in the webpage). They actually work differently as the website countdown (top banner) uses your computer clock to do the calculation while the SFD banner countdown uses the US server plus or minus an offset decided by the person who is hosting that banner. So in our case (SFD website) we are using the SFD server timezone which is UTC -4, though aware of the issue we are trying not to display both on the same page. So now depending on where and from where you're looking there can obviously be a difference between the two. I hope I have explained it well (besides we might as well use a different time for counting the final day: from midnight for one and 3am for the other one - I would have to double check again).

Pictures-banners for our Facebook and Google Plus profiles

by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr)

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. Check my facebook and plus profiles to understand what I mean. The banner can have something like "I celebrate SFD". How do you think about that idea? Have a lot of fun.
