by Robert Schumann

Hi SFD'ers, The season is open on registering for Software Freedom Day, which is happening this year on 19 September 2009. Check on our map<http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/2009/map.shtml>[1] to see if a team is registered near you - otherwise get yours together and register <http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/register.html> [2]! (Don't forget that you need to make your team wiki page on http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams before registering) The first 200 teams registered *before Friday 10 July* will receive an SFD team pack including three SFD 2009 T-shirts, Ubuntu CDs, and a few other bits and pieces to support your day - we'll keep you posted on what's going into the pack. As usual, these packs are sent to teams all over the world with support from our sponsors: Canonical <http://www.ubuntu.com/> (the folks who bring you Ubuntu), Google <http://code.google.com/> and DKUUG<http://www.dkuug.dk/>(with additional help from Linode <http://www.linode.com/>, Zac-ware<http://www.zac-ware.com/products/freeway/>, Linux Magazine <http://www.linux-magazine.com/> and FSF<http://www.fsf.org/>). If you haven't taken part before, learn how to run a new event from our easy to read StartGuide <http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide> [3] - and if you have any questions, just email info(a)sf-day.org. Good luck with your SFD 2009 preparations, and don't forget to pass the message around and get more teams involved. We had over 550 teams last year and are anticipating over 700 this year! Thank you for connecting, creating and sharing!

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD Logo

by Efrain

the font used makes it look more like software so I say it is cool. But what the logo needs is probably sonething that relates to software, so that the logo alone with no text can be identifyable. again it migh be just adding onto the sun and horizon. this is taking the idea from the document freedom day taaht uses a logo that has elements that reflect the _document_ part.

For a branding logo "Software Freedom Day" and "www.softwarefreedom.org" should be more important and larger. The actual date each year is of lesser importance and could be displayed below the logo or not at all. The logo should concentrate on the sun, the hill, "Software Freedom Day" and "www.softwarefreedom.org". This logo, either coloured or black and white, could be used below signature blocks on emails and letters. The black and white logo would stand out when printed on monotone laser printers and could be used with coloured paper, which would reduce printing costs.

Hi Thilo, Please check out the new logo experiments I've done here: http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork/2009/Logo About learning inkscape, there are dedicated video tutorial sites for that but I haven't really followed one. That's why I'm not claiming to have expertise yet on using Inkscape or The GIMP. Next time, I'll try to update the Downloads and Resources page to include links to these video tutorial sites on The GIMP and Inkscape.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Help needed: Artwork for SFD '09 team starter pack (schwag); Do we need to change the SFD logo font?

by jmC8

Hi all, I have recently updated the 2009 logo page<http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork/2009/Logo>with a couple of new logo image experiments. All of which are re-"creations" of SFD legacy artwork used back in 2004 and 2005.

Yeah, did not yet see black and white version. I guess it might not look like a sun any more then? I have to check that out. Unfortunately I never learned how to work with Inkscape. Still looking for somebody to teach me. ;-) regards, Thilo -- Thilo Pfennig - PfennigSolutions IT-Beratung- Wiki-Systeme Sandkrug 28 - 24143 Kiel (Germany) http://www.pfennigsolutions.de/ XING: https://www.xing.com/profile/Thilo_Pfennig - LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tpfennig
