Re: [SFD-discuss] Theme for the SFD
by Frederic Muller - DFF 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hi again, Since this is a very interesting subject and something we do every year for our local event I believe it really depends on who you expect your visitors to be or who you want to attract. SFD globally doesn't have any specific theme besides promoting Free Software. Local teams know their communities better and are free to chose specific topics of interests (or not). I will need to go back in my past events and look at the various themes we have chosen over the years. I hope you are subscribed to the sfd-discuss mailing list and if not you should in order to follow up on what other teams have done in the past or are planning to do this year. sfd-discuss subscription page is here: http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss So expect a bit more on the topic in the coming responses. Thank you.

SFD registration opened
by Frederic Muller - DFF 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hi! Just a soft announcement as we're slowly migrating to SSL and had a few issues with mixed content not appearing. So now registration seems to be ok and we're letting the discussion list know. If no issue is noted for the next 24 hours we'll make a formal announcement on the announce list tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience and support. Fred

Dear all, Probably Matrix network would be nowadays replacement of IRC? More reading at https://matrix.org/ Many client programs - https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html and one of the most popular is Riot https://riot.im/ - capable also connect to IRC servers, Gitter. Also many open APIs available - https://matrix.org/docs/api/client-server/ --- Edmund

Was very happy to see the wiki up and showing 2017 information ( http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2017 ). Already added information for the event in my area to the wiki. I've been by telling all the computer and programming groups in my area about the local event and referring them to the SFD wiki site for more information. I think our local event will be small this year (compared to previous years when our Linux users group used to host it), but it should be fun. Sincerely, Laura

project dead?
by Tom Behets 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi, for some weeks now, no one response on IRC. The registration is still not open, while a few weeks before the event. Is SFD currently dead? If so, think about leaving the domain name to some volunteer group. Strong name, would be bad to let it go away. Greets, Tom
