We are hosting it tomorrow (Sept 17). We've done so for three years now and its always been a hit. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Information Systems Director, Center for Business Solutions San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://cbs.sfsu.edu/ http://is.sfsu.edu/

Mani Software Freedom Day is on the 19th (this Saturday) the point of having it on the same day all over the world is that we can focus media attention, sponsors etc. and market the heck out of open source software. If we all start having SFD on our own days it will still be great, but hardly an international software freedom day. 2c andre

extracted it to the desktop (the feature is built into Jaunty's Nautilus) edited it in quantaplus, rebuilt it with genisofs, then tested it with an XP machine in Virtualbox. Basically no non-free software was involved other than for testing purposes ;) 2009/9/16 Sameer Verma <sverma(a)sfsu.edu>: > On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 9:54 PM, Bruce Kingsbury <zcat(a)wired.net.nz> wrote: >> WLUG dropped Wesnoth and added scorched, lincityng and freeciv which >> makes the CD just about dead-on 700M.

WLUG dropped Wesnoth and added scorched, lincityng and freeciv which makes the CD just about dead-on 700M. I'd love to share but at the speed of my broadband the upload wouldn't be finished until after SFD anyhow. It was pretty easy to shuffle stuff around anyhow, just copy one of the existing html files and edit it for any new programs you add. 2009/9/16 Sameer Verma <sverma(a)sfsu.edu>: > Does anyone have a 700MB ISO of the OpenDisc or has created something > similar?
