Thanks for supporting SFD 2011!

by Steve Rainwater

I just wanted to offer my thanks to everyone here who helped support SFD 2011! Our event in Dallas was small but successful. We had a lot of people show up. We gave away lots of Ubuntu and Fedora CDs. Thanks for all the swag, it arrived well before the big day and we used nearly all of it. We even inflated all the balloons and decorated the room with them this year. One note about the t-shirts - they suffered major shrinkage. On the first washing, my large became a medium. On the second wash, it shrunk to small. :) But better those orange shirts from a few years ago where the color leached out and stained everything you washed with them. Best t-shirts so far have been the bright green ones (maybe 2007?) - no shrinkage, no color leaching. If anyone knows who made those, use that company to make next year's shirts! We also got some media attention on Geekbeat.tv. Cali Lewis came out and shot video at our event, check it out if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO3N_N3e7Eo -Steve

the best way to get our government help is foss4gov.gov.lk icta.lk In our country there is no act for FOSS but some policies are there. This is the new initiative launched.

Philiippine FOSS BILL HB 1011

by Roy Plomantes

Hello Everyone, For our continuous lobbying and constant advocating Free and Open Source Software since 2006, we finally have the first hearing in the Philippine congress for the passage of FOSS BILL ACT 1011 on October 04, 2011. For details about this bill here is the link http://www.scribd.com/doc/34628484/HB-1011-Free-Open-Source-Software-FOSS-A…. This is not an easy job for us since there are big groups lobbying against this bill who are financed by proprietary software companies. If you have related bill in your country, please send us some details for our references and if possible email or write the Philippine consulate in your country and help us explain the importance of this bill. Thank you in advance for your help. Roy J. Plomantes Team Leader Nephila Web Team Quezon City Philippines

Dear Paulo, Thank you for the feedback as it will help us to plan for next year. I believe we will have to revert back to a full 2 months before the event to let enough time.

I think the difference is that the transfers came in the package to us, and they where too tightly pressed in the package (ours were, three of the images were actually a bit damaged), so transfering them got harder. I can, of course, be totally wrong. -- Marcos Marado
