Couldn't take more than an hour to do a remake on the '08 one.. :) Preferrably in SVG format so it can be fitted to any physical size. This is definately priority number one. Since we in Sweden (at least to some part) try to coordinate everything on a local level, we usually do our own swedish marketing material. That's why it would'a been awsome to get t-shirt-logos and stuff so that we can hunt our own sponsors for printing t-shirts and posters. However, I don't know how much responsability and control you are willing to delegate to local groups. :) Kindest regards, Mathias SFD Sweden ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ SFD-discuss mailing list SFD-discuss(a)sf-day.org http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss End of SFD-discuss Digest, Vol 28, Issue 2 ******************************************

Open source community members in Hobart, Tasmania

by Steve Olive

Hi, A bit of a strange request ;-) but one of my colleagues has moved from Bathurst NSW to Hobart Tasmania. He has helped me with Software Freedom Day for that last 3 years and wanted to get involved in Hobart but isn't sure who to contact. Is there a Software Freedom Day group in Hobart? If so, could someone or everyone in SFD Hobart please contact me off list so I can pass on contact details? I'd post his contact details, but I use this email address which is the only email account on this mail server, for one thing, subscribing to the SFD Discuss list but I receive nearly 300 spam emails a week :( -- Thanks, Steve Computer Support Officer P/T Teacher Information Technology P/T Arts & IT Faculty Bathurst TAFE NSW Western Institute Phone: 02 6338 2450 email: steve(a)bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au .... _ ...

Re: [SFD-discuss] Schwags this year

by Thilo Pfennig

I suggest the following: If teams register it should be essential to add the number of team members and the potential size. I would start to deliver different packages. It does not make sense to ship the same ammount to a 30 people event as well as to a 600 people event. I also would suggest that teams can request different amounts of stuff per se. In our case T-Shirts werent that helpful because it is quite cold in northern germany in September (about 14-15 degrees centigrade). So one would wear that under other clothes. I would suggest to provide a CD or DVD that has stuff for presentations (open source movies, statistics, images, music, lectures ...). Otherwise people need to collect all that data. Maybe also provide some OpenOffice documents for printing out SFD marketing stuff. Maybe also provide some Vcards to contact SFD organizers - so alltogether a good mix. BTW I suggest to already now bringt 2009 content and day to http://softwarefreedomday.org/ - In Kiel we have the problem that as well as last year another open source event now already chose October - so information about the date needs to be available more than just a few months before september. BTW2. I managed to get the surge protection for the wiki activated. maybe your settings a re a bit too strong. regards, thilo

We are preparing DFD too. So, I think that the pack need only little change. T-shirt was all right, but i think that you have to increase the number. Baloon are useless. In the 08 we was in a High school of more of 1000 student and are all to old for baloon. Need more CD's, and not only Ubuntu (that is useful and important to have) -- #################################### Alexjan Carraturo admin of Free Software Users Group Italia http://www.fsugitalia.org Fedora Ambassador: Axjslack ####################################

Hello. Germany speaking... ;-) In our case we could have dispensed the balloons. As we hadn't an event inside but a little booth there was no need for it. We also are going to celebrate DFD this year, it might be better to have two or three posters (A2 or so) to bring it on some windows. Last year we did this posters ourselves. In my opinion the CDs could be only for download and copying locally. Maybe then there is a chance to get some more T-Shirts which were really loved by the team members and the customers. Just my 2 cents.

Schwags this year

by Frederic Muller

Dear all, We've been starting to prepare for SFD'09 and we would like to know if there is anything that we could add/replace in the schwags we're sending out that could be more helpful for your team to prepare the event this year. We of course do have a limited budget, but it would be nice to get some feedback about how to possibly improve our support. So I hope to get a lot of feedbacks from the 600 team leaders and their support team who made SFD '08 happen! Looking forward to it. Fred SFI Vice President

SFD planet hackergotchi

by Frederic Muller

Hi everybody, A new year has started (well a month ago for most of us, right now for Chinese and in a few months for others...). SFI works on the Gregorian Calendar and we have started preparing for Software Freedom Day 2009. As we mentioned earlier in a response to João Nunes from Portugal, SFD is organized on the third Saturday of September and it will be a Saturday 19th this year. There are a few things we will want to get your input on and we will get back to this probably in the coming week. At the moment we're ironing out the website and I have been looking at our Planet (http://planet.softwarefreedomday.org) I noticed a lot of missing hackergotchi's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackergotchi) and it'd be really nice if people on the planet could send me links to their hackergotchi's so we can have a more colorful and personal planet. Thanks a lot. Fred Beijing LUG
