I think that 'pegantinas', it's a local word. I'm from Mexico and we
use 'stickers' o 'calcomanias', but maybe 'calcomania' it's a local
word too :P

Una traduccion mal hecha por mi revisenla y cambienla
Hola todos,
SFD2008 esta a la vuelta de la esquina - el sabado 20 de septiembre - y
los registros de los equipos estan abiertos! los primeros 300 equipos
registrados antes del 15 de julio recibiran un paquete de equipo del SFD
incluyendo camisetas, botones, pegantinas y globos, como unos utiles
CD's de recursos incluyendo algunos Discos de educacion abierta
(OpenEducation) [1], un DVD con el trabajo de arte (artwork),
documentacion, plantillas de presentacion y material de video, y la
opcion de algunos CD's de Ubuntu.
Adicionalmente las camisetas tambien estaran disponibles para la compra
en nuestra tienda en-linea, que sera abierta pronto.
Puedes registrarte visitando la pagina de registro pero no te olvides
que debes tener tu pagina de equipo (o actualizar la vieja pagina)
*antes* de registrarte. Aqui hay mas informacion acerca de como formar
un equipo y como registrarlos en nuestra wiki [2], [3]
Revisa cuales ya se encuentran registrados en nuestro mapa mundo
interactivo!
Queriamos cambiar como la gente encuentra los equipos y directamente a
travez del mapa distribuido por continente y el pais para tu excelente
retroalimentacion (feedback) el año pasado, ahora los equipos
simplemente pueden estar en softwarefreedomday.org/equipo
<http://softwarefreedomday.org/equipo> en vez de en una realmente larga
url, si tu ya tienes una pagina de equipo puedes crear una nueva y
cambiar todos tus datos en esta nueva pagina, o simplemente enlazarla a
los viejos eventos desde tu nueva pagina. ademas nos aseguraremos de que
los paquetes de los equipos sean enviados mas tempranamente este año
para que los puedan tener a tiempo. El año pasado tuvimos alrededor de
20 paquetes regresados a nosotros de equipos que escribieron mal la
direccion o no recogieron sus paquetes, por favor asegurate que tu
direccion es 100% correcta, por que no podemos cersiorarnos de eso.
Ademas trata de asegurarte que tu direccion esta en el mapa actual de
direccionas en el caso de que las personas buedan acercarse e ir mas
facilmente.
Buena suerte con los preparativos al SFD2008, y no olvides de pasar el
mensaje e invitar mas equipos! Tuvimos alrededor de 330 equipos el año
pasado y este año estamos anticipando alrededor de 550!
Gracias por ayudarnos a llevar el software a la libertad de las calles y
hacer un mundo mejor para todos! Despues de todo, la libertad no solo es

Map problem
by Mani A
I registered the ILUG-CALINFO team from Kolkata, India. But the map
has got the location wrong.
How do I rectify it ? Or is it to be done by the admins.
Thanks

Registration system - success and a few complications
by Pia Waugh
Hi all,
below is a message from Robert Schumann who has put a lot of work and hours
into making our awesome new registration system! With the exception of a few
little issues on particular browsers, which he is working through now, it
has worked a treat and we already have almost 100 teams registered! Check
out the map!
http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml
----- Forwarded message from Robert Schumann <robert(a)softwarefreedomday.org> -----
Hi all,
Apologies to those who have been having trouble requesting supplies when
registering: on some browsers, there is a bug which prevents the shipping
address window from opening. That's what comes from trying to make the
registration script too complicated!
We are working on a solution to this technical glitch, however until then
there is a very easy workaround that you can use:
--------------------------
When you get to the part of the form that says "Would your team like to
receive supplies?", change the drop-down box to "Yes" and then click on the
refresh/reload button on your browser.
--------------------------
Thanks for your patience. If you have previously registered and were unable
to request supplies, and you would like to, please feel free to register
again now, and use the workaround described above to ensure that your
supplies request is received. We will remove your earlier, duplicate
registration.
Robert.
----- End forwarded message -----
Cheers,
Pia

Ah! thanks, that explains it. I had trouble initially, then wrote
(you) an email re the problem, then as if by magic, the correct window
appeared! I must have refreshed without knowing!

Re: [SFD-discuss] Registration is open for Software Freedom Day 2008!
by Robert Schumann
Hi all,
Apologies to those who have been having trouble requesting supplies when
registering: on some browsers, there is a bug which prevents the shipping
address window from opening. That's what comes from trying to make the
registration script too complicated!
We are working on a solution to this technical glitch, however until then
there is a very easy workaround that you can use:
--------------------------
When you get to the part of the form that says "Would your team like to
receive supplies?", change the drop-down box to "Yes" and then click on the
refresh/reload button on your browser.
--------------------------
Thanks for your patience. If you have previously registered and were unable
to request supplies, and you would like to, please feel free to register
again now, and use the workaround described above to ensure that your
supplies request is received. We will remove your earlier, duplicate
registration.
Robert.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Registration is open for Software Freedom Day 2008!
by PRAN-BD.ORG
Hi
Good see your mail. I hope the mailing is working as a bridge with us to
development partnership and understanding.
I saw the team page of Bangladesh which created by BdOSN. I love to work
with BdOSN. In previous year we had our name ( Participatory Research &
Action Network-PRAN) in BdOSN page. But did not get any support or
campagin mattrial from BdOSN or SFD team. this is fact we have
celebrated the day without any support.
From our last year experience we are afraid to celebrate day with any
other. But I am member of BdOSN and want to work with you.
I have plan to celebrate the day at district town of Noakhali where
youth, professional, media peoples, telecentre, NGOs will participants.
At the same time we would like to arrange various action and fun in NSTU.
Celebration of the day is important for us. So if you support us then we
have no objection to join with BdOSN. I hope it'll more strengthens for
OSS campaign. You can add us in BdOSN team page.
Please, keep in touch. and update us with idea, matrial and resources.
Thanks for your time

Re: [SFD-discuss] Registration is open for Software Freedom Day 2008!
by PRAN-BD.ORG
Dear Pia
Nice to see your mail with the link of registration.
I am Masud, from Bangladesh. We have a group `Noakhali Open Source
Group'. Totally
50 peoples are involved in there with a technology university. We are
working for populating OS
in NGO, community, tatecentre and youth group.
We are not involved with Bangladesh open source Network-BdOsn. Because
of we are 300 kilomiter
par from Dhaka, where BdOsn will arrange the event. So we would like to
organize some event on the eve of
SFD 2008.
I am trying to registration our team, but I am failed to do. What can I do?
I need your help.
Thanks for your time
