Yes I am seeing it, which is why I modified the size parameters in the code for Greek. Unfortunately the person helping with this is in exam period at the moment. I'll take a look at the source file and try to fix the issue tomorrow (traveling right now). > > I see this problem using > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 > Set a non white default & you'll see it. > > Web page source is not good if it asserts a known wrong size > xv will tell you correct pixel size to embed in samples. > > 8 bit > Embedding 8th bit high in a web page source is bad, it can break > with many filter tools that may edit the page source that contains > the SFD advert. I usually use websites that provide conversion tools for that, but then we will have to update the wiki page. Indeed a good point and we should apply this rule for the other languages too. > > Cheers, > Julian > > > > > _______________________________________________ > SFD-discuss mailing list > SFD-discuss(a)sf-day.org > http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss >

So I used same size from Greek exported back to English (to save me looking for previous URL in mail list archive) The Greek sample is broken in 2 respect: Wrong size You'r probably not seeing white pixels on border cos your including page or browser defaults to white background ? I see this problem using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Set a non white default & you'll see it. Web page source is not good if it asserts a known wrong size xv will tell you correct pixel size to embed in samples. 8 bit Embedding 8th bit high in a web page source is bad, it can break with many filter tools that may edit the page source that contains the SFD advert.

I am not sure what are you needs, but the greek graphics are 5 pixel bigger in both directions. So the English and Greek code will also differ in the width and height parameter, unless you omit them (in which case the banner size will not be reserved, and grow only once the graphic is loaded). Does that help? Fred

SFD Summit proposals

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Dear all, We just wanted to inform you that so far we have received three excellent proposals for the summit to which we have sent a receipt acknowledgment (an email saying we received your proposal). Should you not have received any such email, it probably means we haven't received your proposal. In such case please try to contact me directly or through this mailing list. Thank you. Fred

Countdown in Greek!

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hello all I would like to thank Stathis Iosifidis for doing the Greek version of the SFD countdown this year (and all this while preparing for his upcoming exams). So if you're in Athens, Greece (UTC+3 as Greece is in daylight saving time) the countdown code will be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+3-el.png" border="0" width="165" height="95" alt="Γιορτάστε μαζί μας την SFD στις 15 Σεπτεμβρίου!"></a> Greece has already 2 teams fully registered and a 3rd one should register soon as well as we have been exchanging emails. Happy SFD to all! Fred

One more thing: could you also translate this little part: Celebrate SFD with us on September 15! (in this email or directly on the wiki page http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/ar ) Thanks a lot.

Countdown in Portuguese!

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi again! As the title says it all I would like to thank Paulo Santana for doing the Portuguese version of the SFD countdown this year. So if you're in Lisbon, Portugal (UTC+0) the countdown code will be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/pt/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+0-pt.png" border="0" width="160" height="90" alt="Celebra o SFD 2012 no Sábado, 15 de Setembro!"></a> And if you're in Brasilia, Brasil (UTC-3) the countdown code will be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/pt/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC-3-pt.png" border="0" width="160" height="90" alt="Comemore o SFD 2012 no Sábado, 15 de Setembro!"></a> Happy SFD to all! Fred
