Fwd: [DFD] FSFE is looking for trustworthy organisation to run DFD2016/17
by Marcos Marado Nov. 24, 2015

Nov. 24, 2015

This seems to be a task for DFF... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Erik Albers <eal(a)fsfe.org> Date: Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 3:35 PM Subject: [DFD] FSFE is looking for trustworthy organisation to run DFD2016/17 To: <df-coordination(a)documentfreedom.org>, dfd <dfd(a)lists.fsfe.org> Dear Document Freedom organisers, participants and friends, Since 2008, we have been celebrating Document Freedom Day. What started as a day for document liberation became an annual activity on the last Wednesday of March, with groups celebrating from all over the globe. And after some successful editions, DFD became the international day to celebrate Open Standards. More and more international organisations join DFD every year to celebrate technological environments in which no one will ever be forced to use proprietary formats. On the other hand, and despite all the international success and attention, we are happy that DFD always remained a grass-roots movement. The core of Document Freedom Day is, and will always be, you, who organise local events throughout the world that spread the message about document freedom. However, ***in 2016, the Free Software Foundation Europe will not run or organise Document Freedom Day again.*** As you can imagine, this was a hard decision for us to make. But, we decided that in 2016 the FSFE will focus on our core topics because Free Software is facing a lot of challenges. Internationally extended regulations of DRM, decreasing rights and possibilities to tinker with one's own devices, repetitive tries to establish software patents in Europe and other challenges call for the Free Software Foundation Europe to concentrate on our utmost concerns: the promotion, spread and protection of Free Software for everyone, public administrations and education. Also we really can not anymore stand the fact that public administrations spent most of their money on proprietary software, instead of investing in Free Software. That is why we are planning to run a coordinated campaign in different countries in Europe. And why we decided to shift our focus away from organising DFD again but instead concentrate our power on further fighting for software freedom. However, we still see the need of further promoting the use of Open Standards. That is why we would be open - under certain conditions [1] - to hand over DFD and let another organisation(s) run Document Freedom Day 2016 / 17. If your organisation is interested in running DFD2016 (or DFD2017), please contact eal(a)fsfe.org and we can discuss all the details. We really hope that we can hand over DFD into trustworthy hands and thank you so much for wonderful DFDs in the past, Erik in the name of the DFD team PS: If you know any organisation or team that might be interested, please share this message with them [1] which is obviously to run the DFD-website solely on Free Software and Open Standards and to not promote any form of non-free software or proprietary standard. But even more important is the vision and idea as well as the capability to support grassroot groups around the world with the promotion of Open Standards. -- No one shall ever be forced to use non-free software Erik Albers | FSFE | https://fsfe.org/about/albers OpenPGP Key-ID: 0x8639DC81 on keys.gnupg.net _______________________________________________ DF-Coordination mailing list DF-Coordination(a)documentfreedom.org https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/df-coordination

/2015/Russia/Barnaul/ASU event location fix
by Ivan Shmakov Sept. 18, 2015

Sept. 18, 2015

I know it’s coming a bit late, but could someone please fix the event’s location on the map [1] to point to the following? https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat=53.34818&mlon=83.77599#map=19/53.34818/83.7… It’s almost the same as the location originally stated (below; basically, just another entrace to the same building), and our wiki page [2] states it correctly since over a week ago, but I guess we’d rather avoid any unnecessary confusion. https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat=53.34738&mlon=83.77583#map=19/53.34738/83.7… Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Is there a hashtag which would be common trigger for people to use. Something like #sfd2015 or something else. Would be good if there is one decided or pre-decided. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8

Re: [SFD-discuss] Open Source Software Supercomputer

Hi Fred, I was a part of IBM Supercomputing Team for last 5 Years and very recently moved to Cray :). If few students are interested, I can run a show on HPC live practice using open source software. Thanks and Regards Manmohan On 28-Aug-2015 8:41 pm, "Frederic Muller - DFF" < fred(a)digitalfreedomfoundation.org> wrote: Hi! That sounds like a very good idea. Bangalore has always been a very active area in Free Software development with some ups and downs depending on the years to gather with its communities. You could take a look at the SFD wiki previous years as people have organized events and I am sure they would be happy to join again. Likewise I have been a GNOME Foundation members for some time and met people from Bangalore at IBM and Red Hat who would probably be happy to join as well. So I think it's definitely a great place to get an event and reach out to people who would love to hear more about Free Software and its potentials. Please do go ahead!
