We have decided to use a forum for CFD as we believe the crowd will be less technical and more into nice graphical interfaces, easy to navigate and search, but if there is really a need for one we could create a cfd(a)sf-day.org (adding a new domain is rather troublesome and I would really prefer not to). Does this make sense and do you guys feel it's needed? Thanks. Fred

Yes. CFD Wiki is at http://wiki.culturefreedomday.org . in fact the whole process is exactly the same as SFD (just on a different domain). you can read further explanations here: http://www.culturefreedomday.org/ (together with links) Fred On 04/20/2012 12:54 AM, Ingeniero Forigua wrote: > Hi everyone > > I have a question, there is a wiki page as SFD? or subpage for teams ? > > tysm >

Hi! Thanks a lot for the tip. I was slightly battling with the registration application and wanted it people to be able to register before pinging them. So as the registration just went live I will start following up on spreading the word of CFD. Note that we already have a in-house list of several organization we need to contact. This is something that we will share on the CFD wiki and hopefully people will be able to ping similar organization in their own countries. We also have a countdown almost ready, which should be activated tomorrow I believe. so thank you and happy CFD!

Dear Edgar, The logo will remain unchanged so will the website (despite the obvious required upgrade to J!2.5). We have however made a few minors modifications to the banners and some of the goodies colors/design, which are all accessible here (including source files) : http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork Last year designs are still on the wiki but have been moved to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011/Artwork Should you need anything else please let me know.

Re: [SFD-discuss] We want to translate the website

by Pockey Lam

Dear ???, Thank you very much for your offer to contribute to the website, we do need contributors like you! Our site is using Joomla! and we have a howto for localization. http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Translation/www In order to localize, you will need an account first, so I will send you an email separately to follow up with the account setup, and we can always arrange IRC meetings if you have any question regarding the howto later. Thanks again!
