Ubuntu Discs (SFD Supplies) requires Customs clearance (Bangalore, India)

by SANAULLAH

Hi, The Ubuntu discs which were sent as part of the SFD team supplies require customs clearance in India. They are asking for copy of the order pf confirmation or the details of the contents of the documetns/cd's/dvd's. When contacted the customs office in Bangalore, India they are asking to pay the equivalent amount of the discs to get it cleared. Anyone from India who have faced such a situation and have solved it? Thanks, -- Mohamed Sanaulla Campus Ambassador, Sun Microsystems NITK Surathkal, India http://twitter.com/letmeknowupdate

an A to Y of Free Software in Russian

by Ivan Shmakov

As part of my preparations to the oncoming Software Freedom Day celebration here, at Altai State University (Barnaul, Altai Krai, Russia), I've prepared a leaflet, which could be called ``an A to Y of Free Software'', to be used as a give-away stuff, primarily targetted at newcomers. The leaflet contains a list of 25 Free Software products (for each of the English alphabet letters, excluding Z), each accompanied by an URL and a short annotation given in Russian, sometimes a bit humorous. The selection of the packages is rather arbitrary. I'd appreciate any comments, especially from the Russian language-speaking Free Software users, as I'm not yet sure about wording, typos, etc. I'd be especially glad to see any variants covering completely distinct sets of Free Software packages. http://waterlily.ip.uusia.org/~ivan/doc-files/a-y-freesoftware-2009/a-y-fre… http://waterlily.ip.uusia.org/~ivan/doc-files/a-y-freesoftware-2009/a-y-fre… -- FSF associate member #7257
