As explained source files are here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/en?action=AttachFile&do=get&ta… You need to generate about 32 PNG files from those svg files, at 190x200pixels size and upload them to a folder under CountDown which will have your language code. Once this is done, drop us an email (also please, do reply to post and not digests!). Thank you. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] Gmane.org as a Web interface for @sf-day.org mailing lists?

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Gmane is like a gui front end to the mailing list, if I understood correctly. You can read more here: http://everything.explained.at/Gmane/ We discussed the quietness of our mailing list in the past, and the tech oriented mailing list, versus apparently more opened forum discussion medium. We will still have a forum based discussion medium one day, once I get the time to integrate something with moinmoin.

Then we should probably wait for your designer friends to return. He unfortunately didn't translate it on the svg I took from Artwork :( And translating the SFD logo probably requires a bit more than just translation as one needs to arrange the words to make it look good while keeping the 'design'. I may look into it later as well, but I don't promise. Fred
