In the US, at least... tie the event to Constitution Day

by Kevin Cole

Hi, There may be ways to promote Software Freedom by linking it with parallel freedoms granted (in some form) by many constitutions. Particularly, in the United States, where Constitution Day is September 17 -- see http://www.constitutioncenter.org/ConstitutionDay/ I'm not suggesting a change of date or anything, but since the two days are close together, there may be ways to take advantage of that.

Hi Leandro, I saw that and the screenies look good. I just hope the whole thing gets translated into English (dunno if it has or has not been translated into English) If that is done, then at some point somebody packages it as a .deb and put it in some repository. As far as looks are concerned, its a killer :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

by Leandro Gómez

Hi all, For those of you that haven't been following the posts on the Planet SFD: We have released SFD-REG, a free event registration system developed by Adolfo Fitoria [0] using RoR. It's released under GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3). You can read more about it here (including some screenshots). [1] We have also released all the artwork made by Byron Corrales [2] for the SFD Nicaragua 2008 event. More info here. [3] Hope you can make good use of it. Cheers, [0] http://fitoria.wordpress.com/ [1] http://leogg.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/tools-for-freedom/ [2] http://byroncorrales.blogspot.com/ [3] http://leogg.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/sfd-2008-artwork/
