by Pockey Lam

Hi everyone! In two days, we gained ~30 teams and reached almost 170 teams! We still have 3 days to get to 200 teams and ship the goodies. Let's continue the marketing by reaching the local communities within your network or in your country and spread SFD to more places!

The date is not compulsory and yes, you can host your SFD event 2 or 3 days before! As we understand and encourage teams to pick the best date for themselves. SFD official date is the 3rd Saturday of September and teams should try to make their celebration as close as possible to this date within the boundaries of what is possible for them. All the best to your preparation!

Hi! A question about the SFD event date.....

by karan pratap singh

Hi all fellow SFDers A Quick Question... Is the date 17th September compulsory for hosting a SFD event? can we host SFD 2 or 3 days before? I ask this because we may have our unit tests in our university starting from 16th September lasting till 20th September... so it will be great if we could host the event on 13th September, 2011 since otherwise on 17th many students in my college as well as the organizing team members will be busy with tests... I ask this since I *really* want to host a SFD this year, it has been my dream since last year a SFD was hosted by our seniors :) -- regards, Karan Pratap Singh PULUG Panjab University Chandigarh India

Today is Sysadmin Appreciation Day

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that today is Sysadmin Day http://www.sysadminday.com/ and that you should make a little gesture towards all the people you know filling the requirements either as their normal day job or as volunteers of a system administrator. Thanks to them your emails, websites, office computers (or personal) run (or don't) smoothly. It's definitely not an easy job and you only get to see people when they have problems. If you're short of ideas, you can find a gift list here: http://www.sysadminday.com/gifts.html So happy day to the sysadmin out there! Fred

SFD "Registration is On" Campaign - We need your help

by Pockey Lam

Dear everybody, We prepared 200 packs of goodies and we have around 140 teams registered so far. That means we still have five days to get 60 teams! In order to do that we need your help to run a "SFD registration is on" campaign! Would everyone try to find the contacts of all the local communities in your country and inform them about the SFD registration and ask them to organize and register a SFD event? Let's keep track of the local communities list here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/MarketingCommittee/CommunityList so we can reuse it for the coming years. If you cannot edit the wiki page, please send me an email separately to tell me your wiki login name, I can add you in the MarketingGroup or feel free to send me the list so I can add it for you. I drafted an email to send to local communities, please feel free to modify, localize and send to your local communities. Blogging and microblogging would be great too. I had already contacted 100+ local communities so far and contacting more, will update on the wiki list as next step. With everybody's help, we can definitely bring SFD to more places, so let's do it! If you have other ideas of how to promote SFD to potential organizers, please share them here, we can always do better! *Email* Register your SFD2011 event now -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you plan to organize a Software Freedom Day (SFD) event this year, but haven't registered yet, you should definitely go to register as soon as possible to get some goodies on or before August 2nd! SFD Goodies availability is subject to first come first served basis and each pack will include 3 t-shirts, 20 stickers, 10 tshirt transfer labels, 3 dvds, 20 balloons anda 2-meter long banner :-) Registration is very easy, you just need to : 1) create a wiki page of your event under wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011, and then 2) go to http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py to submit your event information. <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CreateYourTeampage>If you have any issue regarding registration, you may read our howto on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CreateYourTeampage or contact us via email: sfd-discuss(at)sf-day.org or IRC: #sfd @freenode server.
