JoinDiaspora and other SaaS alternatives

Using the Shapado Q&A for "post-SFD" suport

by Fabián Rodríguez

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone As many of you, ** after Sept. 17 ** I anticipate the questions and requests for help from people that will discover free software or will become more curious about it with this event. I'd like to propose we show participants how to use Shapado FLOSS, a Q&A site where questions can be asked in most any language, while providing a reputation/score system for questions and answers: http://floss.shapado.com/ This is powered by Shapado, and hasn't seen much exposure/use yet, but works well. Other FLOSS projects have adopted the same engine, creating microsites which share authentication and resources: http://ask.debian.net/ (official) http://owncloud.shapado.com/ (official) http://libreoffice.shapado.com/ (unofficial) http://ubuntu.shapado.com/ (unofficial) .. And the list goes on. For general FLOSS questions, including Mac/Windows related ones, I find this may be an excellent way to provide post-SFD support and assistance to the people we will meet. It provides several advantages over forums and newsgroups, while presenting a multilingual web interface that is easier to use and builds FAQ-like knowledge over time. Shapado has an IRC channel if anyone here has questions (#shapado on Freenode) and of course dogfoods its own Q&A at Shapado.com. If anyone wants to help with the admin/graphic design or moderation of the FLOSS microsite, please come by IRC and ask around. I have no other connection with the project than being an avid user and moderator / creator of some of the links mentioned above. Let me know what you think, I will be adding a sheet of "essential FLOSS local links" to our promo material and it will include http://floss.shapado.com/.

French-speaking announcement

by verow

Thanks to Fred, a French-speaking announcement is ready for those who are not user-friendly with other tongues : plase feel free to spread it arround you :-) ------- SFD, Software Freedom Day, ou le jour de la célébration du logiciel libre est à 2 pas de chez vous ! En effet c'est avec un grand plaisir que nous vous informons que cette célébration mondiale se déroulera le samedi 17 septembre 2011 (3e samedi du mois de septembre) et que vous êtes chaudement invités à participer. Pas d'idée? Célébrer le libre ce n'est pas compliqué: une petite annonce à vos membres ou utilisateurs, un rendez-vous entre copains au café du coin, ou dans un lieu public pour expliquer aux néophites tous les bienfaits de ces logiciels et leur faire voir ce qu'ils peuvent en faire. Pour ce faire, nous avons mis à disposition un nombre assez important de ressources ici : http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Marketing SFD se célèbre depuis 2004 dans le monde avec en moyenne 500 équipes présentes dans plus de 100 pays. L'enregistrement ne prend que quelques minutes et nécessite de créer sa page évènement sur le wiki de SFD (http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/GuidedeD%C3%A9marrage ) et de remplir un tout petit formulaire (http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py ) afin d'apparaître sur la carte globale des évènements SFD http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/ . Alors n'hésitez plus et bon SFD ! Le Conseil d'Administration de SFI. ------- Once again, many thanks Fred \o/ Salutations ensoleillées, -- Véronique Fritière ~ GnuPG_key 1024D/BE963B35 Présidente et chargée de communication linux-azur.org ~ chargée relations aful.org Mobile +33 (0) 699 210 186 ~ http://rustines.net
