Re: [SFD-discuss] What disk to burn

by draicone＠gmail.com

Larry, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be allowed to burn your own CDs, but I strongly suggest burning copies of the open CD first, as the collection is highly polished and targeted at the standard user. Take a look at it on http://theopencd.org/.

Hi there -- This is new to me (because I'm new to FOSS), but I think celebrating this day is an outstanding idea. Thanks to all who are putting it together. I'm gathering from Janet's e-mail that we are allowed to burn our own CDs, but I'll ask just to be sure: Are we allowed, enabled, encouraged, etc., to assemble our own FOSS CDs to distribute at the event as well? Our "greatest hits" or "top 10" as it were? The reason I ask is that one of our organizers brought up having a 100% truly free (as in freedom, moreso than free beer) disk containing distros, like gNewSense, that do not include any proprietary software.

Hi Peter, <quote who="Peter Eisinger"> > Congratulations! Thank you! > Where we should register? > Reception address. > Quantity of CD. > > Do doubts exist, could it confirm? You can still register to be an official SFD participant, however the deadline for free SFD goodies has already passed, so I'm afraid we can't assist you with this for this years event.

Re: [SFD-discuss] What disk to burn

by Janet Hawtin

the openCD is a good set of software to give to people who are on windows and not looking to swap yet. the linux distribution *you* know is probably a good one to burn. ubuntu is popular because it has a chunky desktop community but burning something you feel comfortable demoing is probably the best fit locally?

Leaflets and poster for Albury-Wodonga, Australia team

by Melissa Draper

Greetings, Over the past few days I've whipped up a pretty (well i think so ;)) little double-folded leaflet for SFD, as it was something I couldn't find already done. It explains briefly what Open Source is, and disambiguates the term 'free' (likely not necessary in languages other than english) some of the open source applications on TheOpenCD are, with the application logos in the descriptions. The files: (also added to the artwork wikipage) PDF of the flier - colour background: http://geekosophical.net/misc/sfd/sfdflier.pdf Source .sla and images for the above flier: http://geekosophical.net/misc/sfd/sfdflier.tar.gz PDF of the flier - white background (suitible for b/w photocopies): http://geekosophical.net/misc/sfd/sfdflier_bw.pdf Source .sla and images for the above flier: http://geekosophical.net/misc/sfd/sfdflier_bw.tar.gz I have also put up the poster I've done for the local event I am running. http://geekosophical.net/misc/sfd/sfdposter.svg Feedback welcome.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD supported by Linux Magazine!

Hi Przemek, <quote who="Przemysław Kulczycki"> > Haha, I've just persuaded polish Linux Magazine to join the polish SFD > events - what a coincidence :] That's great! On that note all teams should try to garner local support for their events. Talk to your radio stations, local papers, even TV stations! They love local events and will often cover it which expands the impact of your efforts :) Ideas here: http://softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide#head-8078220a2ebad7a4e01d2ef68fb6e… Make sure you link any press coverage you get under 2007 on the press page: http://softwarefreedomday.org/press Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/
