Package Received in Ephraim, UT, USA

by Nz17

For those wondering about the shirt packages, I would like to inform you that the Snow College Freedom Team in Ephraim, Utah, (United States of America) received its first SFD package. It was sent directly from the Free Software Foundation, and it included a SFD welcome note, two SFD shirts, FSF oval stickers, GNU & Tux stickers, funny "Defective by Design" stickers, three FSF newsletters, and flyers explaining the meaning of Free Software. The note mentioned that there would probably be a second package containing balloons and additional stickers, and of course we are still expecting the third package which will include the Ubuntu and TheOpenCD discs. On behalf of my team, I would like to thank SFI and this years sponsors for the wonderful promotion packs. They will help to ensure a successful and fun day for all! Sean Robinson Team Leader Snow College Freedom Team

Small issue with website links - fixing now

by Pia Waugh

Hi all, just to keep you all in the loop, there is a small issue with the website links. We are looking into it now and hope to have it fixed today. Apologies for any issues caused. Basically you need to put the url link in twice for it to work atm. eg - http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams will go to the normal front page, but http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/teams will work. It will be resolved very soon, so please don't change any links to your pages. Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/

Location for the wiki pages of the teams has changed?

by Julio Cesar Puigpinos

Hi When trying to get to my country wiki page (http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/centralandsouthamerica/argentina) I got a message "The page does not exist yet.......". I can see that what is wrong is the address, before we use http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/ and then we add the rest (regional team, country, etc), but now I have to add /teams/ again http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/teams/centralandsouthamerica/argentina ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's an error or the naming convention has changed?

It looks like an extra "team" directory has been added to the site in front of the original team directory. Now all our links are broken. What gives? Thanks, Douglas A.
