Thanks for replies. Let's keep the discussion on how to organize SFD2021 aside for now. First we need to figure out who are on board. How the official accounts and channels like website are handled. Then, we can plan for this year event.

Coordination on how to handle SFD 2021
by Mostafa Ahangarha Feb. 1, 2021

Feb. 1, 2021

Hi guys Last year, there was no proper communication and coordination on how to celebrate SFD. Website didn't update in time. Social media accounts were not active and many other things. One part of the reason was that our friends in softwarefreedomday.org were busy with other things which is fully understandable. But now, we have plenty of time till SFD 2021. Let's discuss how we can improve. Software Freedom Day deserves more attention. Bests, Mostafa Ahangarha

Artwork page on wiki

Hi The Artwork page on wiki says it is for 2019. it has some artwork with logos of some sponsors which I don't think it be relevant to SFD2020. Moreover I have made Persian logo for SFD which is following same design for the official logo. I don't know where to upload it and under what license. We are just one week away from SFD!

Wiki needs to be updated
by Mostafa Ahangarha Sept. 10, 2020

Sept. 10, 2020

Hi It seems the wiki needs some serious attention. I just mention two things: * Wiki connection is unsafe. It needs to be on https. * Wiki page for information regarding video conferencing was outdated. Some links were broken (fixed) and one proprietary solution was suggested (removed) I think specially for this year, we need to provide more suggestions regarding having online SFD.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD on Social Media?
by Mostafa Ahangarha Sept. 9, 2020

Sept. 9, 2020

I agree that we need and I would even say we must communicate with people in general and not only those who are already into Free Software. To me, the most important aim for SFD is to reach more and more people, and more the people who have no idea about Software Freedom. So, my request for having account on FLOSS social media like Mastodon is not to delete Twitter and Facebook accounts, but use them smartly and actively alongside Mastodon. These are my suggestions: 1. There should be some activity on current social media (facebook, twitter) to inform people about the SFD2020. 2. An account be made on Mastodon to keep connection with those who opt to only be on FLOSS social media. 3. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, many people don't have idea how to celebrate SFD. We can make a proposal and offer it as an optional approach towards conducting SFD 2020. For this, we might be able to get some support from some Jitsi / Big‌BlueButton instances for having free online sessions for those events registered on SFD website. Regards

What software will you be discussing on Software Freedom Day?
by LM Sept. 4, 2020

Sept. 4, 2020

Would be very curious to hear what Free, Libre and Open Source Software and/or Creative Commons and other resources will you be discussing at Software Freedom Day? I annually try to update my list of software here: http://www.distasis.com/cpp/pbtc.htm I also put together a couple of lists that might be of interest to educators, including this one: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/15912.html Some of the talks such as the ones mentioned by SaltaLUG on the SFD wiki looked really interesting. Would love to hear what software will get mentioned or recommended in the talks. Thanks.
