Back and no bug found :/ Can you detail how you which steps you took to create the Brazil page initially? I couldn't find any problem in the currently 4 text boxes as the bottom of the 2012 page.

Hi again! Great to know what happens. It means that there is a bug somewhere which I need to fix. I have copied the Portuguese mailing list and I'm sure there are plenty of people around here from Brazil as well (you can also attempt the IRC channel - #sfd on freenode - it's rather quiet these days though). It's of course ok to create a Country or City if this one doesn't exist, that's how it's done ;-) We have a guide here in case something is unclear: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CreateYourTeampage I'll check the 2012 page and fix the issue asap. Thanks. Fred ps: also please communicate through the mailing lists as often your problem is someone else problem too, therefore it benefits more people. Thanks.

In Portuguese from Portugal, the correct word is "Equipa".

Portuguese and Brazilian sections - was (Re: Your wiki edits)

by Frederic Muller - SFI

A few edits later I created a Portuguese Country template using Google translate and fixed the linking of those new Brazilian pages. Someone may want to take a look at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountryPtTemplate and fix my (well Google's) Portuguese. I've noticed that in the existing City and Team template created not by me, the word team is either translated into Time or Equipe. Is this something different in pt-pt and pt-br? Current templates use Equipe. Thanks. Fred On 06/01/2012 02:18 PM, Frederic Muller - SFI wrote: > Dear Nathaniel, > > I see you've been starting to create pages under Brazil and BRA in the > wiki.

Your wiki edits

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear Nathaniel, I see you've been starting to create pages under Brazil and BRA in the wiki. You also added states in the structure which from previous years (2011 and 2010) doesn't seem necessary. First Brazil and BRA is a duplicated entry and makes it confusing so we'll keep Brazil as we have used in the past. Have you considered checking with the Brazilian community first as well? planning-pt@ mailing list would be a good start, sfd-discuss@ as well (copied on this email). Also if you're having specific issues please let me know. Currently there is no template for country in Brazilian/Portuguese but that is easy to fix (when you know how to speak that language - which I don't). I will do some initial cleanup and deletion and then we can try to work out a solution from there. Thanks. Fred

SFD 2012 countdown available for use and translation

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear all, First I'm also including the sfd-discuss list as I am not sure last year countdown translators were later added to the localization list. The SFD countdown is actually ready for usage in English event though it will only start to count down from 99 days (in 7 days). We are therefore informing translators of 2011 and also people willing to add a new language that translation can start right now. All the instructions are available on the wiki at this page: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown For those who already want to add the countdown on their page/blog/website the code is also the same as last year (we've chosen a smaller size image this year) and has the same support for time zones. So if for example you're living in Paris (GMT+2/UTC+2 that would be) then the code to add is: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+2-en.png" border="0" width="160" height="90" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 15!"></a> Of course you can also run the code from your website if you want and customize it to your liking. Full code available here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/code and you'll need to add a cron job to run it every 15 minutes if you want to support all time zones. Else every day at 1am is probably fine. Thank you. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] [SFD-announce] Call for proposals to host SFD Summit 2012

by Pockey Lam

Dear Danny, Thank you for asking questions and apologies if the call for hosts wasn't clear enough. What DFI is asking is a local team to partner with and with whom we would work on organizing the summit (before, during and after). So of course a venue is important and an introduction to the local team previous experience in running events as well as liaising with local partners and sponsors. While we do have ideas of how the summit could look like we are definitely opened to discuss 'out of the ordinary' activities. To highlight the important part of the call for sponsors we expect the proposal to cover the following points: - Why should we do it in your city/country? - Why should we do it with your team? - What venue can we expect? - What accommodations are available and at what price? - What's the plan for internet connectivity during the conference? - What support can we expect from other organizations on site? - We've also added a one day 'out of conference' tour for the team and speakers, which is a good way to get together and discover a little bit more about both your place and the people who made the summit happen. - How much should we plan for all that? From our experience with other conferences each local team will have different skill sets making it hard to be more specific on who will do what. In the meantime we are available for any type of discussion on the summit either through this mailing list like you did or by IRC. We could even set up a formal meeting if needed. I hope this help clarifying the confusing points. Regards, Pockey On 05/24/2012 05:39 PM, Danny Piccirillo wrote: > So, I'm confused.

So, I'm confused. Are we proposing a venue, or are we proposing what the entire sfd summit will look like? What does a good proposal look like?
