Regarding SFD kit
by Avinash Sonawane 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Sir, We are bunch of hackers at Pune Institute Of Computer Technology (http://www.pict.edu) who believe in sharing, openness and world improvement. Pune is the second largest IT hub in India (after Banglore) and we are happy to mention that HaCkD is the only team in whole Pune city to celebrate Software Freedom Day. As we came to know about SFD a bit late, sadly we missed the deadline. But since we are just students and have no external source of income or sponsorship, it'll be really helpful if you send us the SFD kit. So that we can celebrate Software Freedom Day at our college in Pune and have a strong impact on folks at PICT who are mostly unaware of non-proprietary world. We hope you'll take our request into consideration. Thank you! -- Avinash Sonawane (RootKea) PICT, Pune http://www.rootkea.wordpress.com

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well organized for September 21. I have few questions because it is the first time my community is active in organizing a Linux day: - When will we have gadgets? - Is there a central SFD theme annually ? - Is there any possibility to share our respective programs of the day ? Thanks for your help Médard AGBAYAZON

Updated Countdown_ES
by Rodrigo Rodriguez 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hello, I just updated the spanish version of the Countdown [0]: - Added 46 - 98 .PNG files - Added 01, 00 & 00here .PNG files - Added countdown_source2013_ES .SVG & .TAR files However, the file more.png is in a spanish conjugation that not necessarily applies to mostly all countries in Latinamerica, wich is the "voseo" [1]. The difference is a diacritical mark [2], but for some people (like me) it's important. So... I wonder if I should make a es-la sub-page on the wiki for the purpose. What do you think? OTOH, I'm testing the version countdown for my country [3] and doesn't seems to work. It appears the file 00here.png instead the appropriate one for the day. Did I do something wrong?

SFD 2013 countdown
by Frederic Muller - DFF 28 Jul '13

28 Jul '13

Hi! The countdown is ready. In fact there was a little bug in the website javascript which added a month to the displayed countdown which is why we haven't launched it earlier. English is fully ready and all the following languages can be used right now. However someone will need to redo 00.png and 00here.png as the SFD date is written on the image file: Catalan French German Portuguese Estonian Chinese Simplified Persian Arabic Greek For Persian on top of doing those 2 image files someone who speaks the language also need to ensure the alt text on the wiki page is correct. I couldn't find the event date, so maybe it's not written at all, or maybe it's simply not readable in English. And then for the next following languages on top of the 2 image files which need to be redone, days files from today (68) onward are simply missing. If you want a countdown now you'll need to generate them so we can activate the countdown. Else usage is the same as the previous year and describe here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown Any question please let us know. Thanks and enjoy! Fred

2013 page screw up
by Frederic Muller - DFF 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hi! While doing some wiki SFD page "maintenance" such as adding captical letters, team pages and so on I inadvertently destroyed page 2013... which means all the current "Add country" in several languages have disappeared. Well we still have 3... Since I am rather handicapped on the language front can people speaking existing available languages listed below step in and provide me the translation here in the email for "Add Country": - Portuguese (PtPt) - Portuguese Brazilian (PtBr) - Russian Maybe Sri Lanka if there are other countries speaking the language... Thanks a lot. Fred

SFD countdown shifts 1 day?
by Edmund Laugasson 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi! When I look at main page http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ I see 58 days but when I use one of the countdown banners from http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown then I see 59 days. I counted from calendar and 58 is correct - 59th day is already 21th September - the event itself. Can it <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/code> be fixed? Best Regards, Edmund Laugasson

registration
by Traugott Dew 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

I am frustrated over this registration. At each stage my pages are passed. The name of my team page appears in the URL as I enterred it http://softwarefreedomday.org/2013/Ghana/Ho Bankoe/GLOSS-Club and yet I am informed to check my URL each time I click the submit button. I tried to localise part of the pages of my entry but it is considered weird! Is that the reason I cannot register my team? Is there any other way out wolako

Re: [SFD-discuss] [SFD-announce] SFD 2013 registration is now ON!

Hi Frederic, > The deadline for registered teams to get the free goodies is July 21st > which should give us enough time to ship everything everywhere. Simply > create your team page under http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013 > (/country/city/team for most) and complete the form on > http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py. All information > and links are of course available from the SFD website. I have gone through this process and registered a team for Melbourne, Australia. This will be the third year in succession that I've been the organiser for Melbourne (so anyone on this list who wants to take over, please contact me!). Something unusual happened at the end of the process. In completing the registration, I received the message: "The email address you supplied does not match the supplied SFD wiki login, you need to provide the email you used when creating your SFD Wiki account. Please go back." Double-checking the account on the SFD Wiki, this is certainly *not* the case. Could you please confirm that the Melbourne AU team has been registered as requested?
