Countdown(s)
by Frederic Muller - DFF 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hi! A bit in a rush I've just remembered that some languages were missing image 01.png, 00.png and 00here.png meaning that the countdown are not longer appearing correctly for them. Those are: - Estonian - Persian - Arabic - Greek Please can someone who speak any of those language rush to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown , download the svg source file and upload the 3 images under the proper page. Let me know if you need any help (I don't speak any of those languages, but I can do other things ;-) ). Thanks a lot. Fred

[SFD] Ordinary Post - A bad idea
by Shubham Chaudhary 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

I just received the mail digest and I can see that a lot of guys are facing problems because the mail was sent using ordinary post. I'm also facing similar dilemma in Chandigarh, India. I visited the regional office, then I was redirected to the head office. They're also clueless about it. Finally the head suggested that I'd have to personally go to New Delhi (where all international mails arrive) and ask them. Even if I send one of my teammate there, em. I don't think that they will be able to help us because it's an ordinary post and there is no record for it. Overall my conclusion is that using ordinary mail is a very bad idea because all that the organizers can do now is wait (for it to arrive after the date passes). It's my humble request to Frederic and all other organizers to please look into this and take care of this issue next year. -- Regards, Shubham Chaudhary - http://about.me/shubhamchaudhary

Hello, there. I know I should have sent this message before, but I totally forgot about it until now! Well, the subject says it all: I still haven't received the goodies here in Campinas, Brazil. I am the one organizing SFD here, so you may contact me (offlist?) if there is any need. I would really appreciate if you could track the package to see if it will arrive in time or not...

Goodies arrived to Thessaloniki-Greece

Hello, I just got the package. I was asked by friends in Larisa to give them promo materials, since they'll have a bigger event. So I'll pass them in the next few days. /S -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis http://www.gnome.gr http://www.opensuse.gr Great leaders don't tell you what to do...They show you how it's done. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts...absolutely. The difference between fiction and reality is fiction has to make sense.
