Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD 2010 registration is OPEN!!!

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear Asmelash, No worries. Let us guide you through the necessary steps: 1. You need to create a wiki account at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/FrontPage?action=newaccount 2. Login 3. Now from the wiki front page (http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/ ) you follow the link that says "SFD 2010 <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010> - This is the central page to find or add a team worldwide! " Direct link is: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010 4. From there you go to your continent which is Africa: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Africa 5. Look for Ethiopia and... it doesn't exist yet! 6. Create you country: at the bottom of this page there is a text box where you simply type Ethiopia and it will create the page for you. 7. Now you're in edit mode for your country. You might want to replace "SFD @PAGE@" by "SFD 2010 Ethiopia" and eventually add a description of your country. One source that comes to my mind is wikipedia, just copy the introduction and that will be a good start. 8. Save the page. Do not forget to answer the question just below the save button! 9. You are now on your country page asking you to create a new City or Region. Same process, enter what suit best your event location, do the text change and add a bit of description. I guess you will chose Mek'ele here. 10. Save. Remember the question under the save button! 11. You're now on your City page. You can create your Team page. Save thing, there is a text box at the bottom of the page where you can just type in the Team name and validate: it will automatically create your team page. 12. Edit your page with all the details needed. 13. Go back to you city page and replace Team1 with your team name and add a link to your team page (which should be /2010/Africa/Ethiopia/Mek'ele/YourTeamName (YourTeamName is your real team name). Save again. You're done. Now in the registration form you will just have to enter Africa/Ethiopia/Mek'ele/YourTeamName and it will work. The process is a bit long because you're the first team in Ethiopia. However by following those steps you ensure people looking at the team list http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CategoryTeam or at the Region list http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CategoryRegion will find your city and your team. Also please do not remove the CategoryTeam tag from your team list: it is that which makes the listing automatic. I hope this was clear enough. Let us know if you're still having issues. Thanks.

Dear Fred, I'm from Mekelle Ethiopia. I tried and couldn't create a team page.

Hi Edgar, Why on earth do people ignore all templates and all guides and then wonder why they are not listed? I added some categories to your page, so it will work somehow.

Wiki page listing - was (Re: Artwork)

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear Edgar, It was actually uploaded on the old wiki and we didn't move them when switching over. JM who works on our artworks uploaded them today. - Is there any chance for more than one team to organize a SFD event in Offenburg? - Do you want your city to be listed or your team name on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CategoryTeam Now if you look at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Europe/Germany/ you will find a list of cities Take Hamburg for example and then you get to this page which list all the teams in Hamburg: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Europe/Germany/ This should have been the structure to follow to get you properly listed. Now based on the answers to the 2 questions above you can either move your page and recreate a city page for Offenburg based on the City template (not sure the exact file name though) or you can also simply add CategoryTeam at the bottom of your page and it will appear in the Team listing. Should you decide to change your team wiki page URL, please let me know so I can modify the map URL. Thank you.

Hi Fred. Thanks for your effort. Now it's there. I'll load up the translation tomorrow. By the way: Our teampage (/europe/germany/offenburg) does not appear on any of the listings...

Re: [SFD-discuss] Redirects from the old site's dead pages to the new site.

Thanks, Thilo and Frederic, How about for the interim period making a single catch-all page on the Wiki and redirect all the 404's there? Then later proper redirect formulas can be set up to steer known moved pages to their new address. The catch-all page could say something to the effect that the page you were looking for has moved to the wiki and provide the visitor a search box and links to the top of the wiki with advice to search or browse there? That keeps the dead links from being complete dead ends. If the wiki (it's moinmoin, right?) has a plug-in to create a site map for google[1], that can help. Regards /Lars [1] http://moinmo.in/ActionMarket/SiteMap (Google supports FOSS in word and deed, the other two on the list probably won't give a worthy return on investment to warrant the effort.) http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=183668

Hey! Thanks for the advice, we'll try to do something about. The plan is to put it back online soon but it's a huge file and we have to move it to a different server, plus upgrade it. Anyway a redirect will do us good. Fred On 07/21/2010 06:00 PM, Lars Nooden wrote: > If there is time, please use mod_rewrite[1] to redirect user to the new > pages or at least to the new site.

Redirecting is a bit complicated, because we spread our pages. But a page that does a little search and provides a link to the wiki would be good. We did not come to an agreement yet on how we do it.
