SFD 2013 countdown
by Frederic Muller - DFF July 28, 2013

July 28, 2013

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 July 27, 2013

July 27, 2013

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 July 24, 2013

July 24, 2013

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

July 22, 2013

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?

SFD Wiki templates: in Russian
by Ivan Shmakov June 27, 2013

June 27, 2013

Yesterday, I've added a few templates to the SFD Wiki — now in Russian, which I hereby request comments on. http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountryRuTemplate http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CityRuTemplate http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/TeamRuTemplate It was also noted by Frederic Muller (in a private communication) that the Wiki may have the CountryRuTemplate invocation added to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013, provided that the teams from different countries may want their country page in Russian. Indeed, Russian enjoys some kind of official status in several countries (check, e. g., [1]), and, AIUI, there's a more or less active Russian-speaking free software community in Ukraine. There used to also be one in Kazakhstan (e. g., http://gnu.kz/) and I was able to contact one of its members a year ago or so. But to the best of his knowledge, that community was no longer active. (Although there was a team from there last year [2].) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language [2] http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2012/Kazakhstan Which makes me ask: would those registering events in the countries where Russian is spoken by a considerable part of the population like their country pages (or any other pages, for that matter) be in Russian? Two more notes: • until now, all the Russian city and team page /names/ were in English (like: /2013/Russia/Barnaul/ASU); but as we now have the “Добавить город” and “Создать страницу” (instead of “Create city” and “Create team,” respectively), we may end up with the teams creating pages with /names/ in Russian (like: /2013/Russia/Барнаул/АлтГУ, or even /2013/Россия/Барнаул/АлтГУ); which has its pro's and cons.; • we may also face a situation where teams from a single country, such as Canada or Ukraine, may want their pages, and those of their cities, in different languages, such as English and French, and Russian and Ukrainian, respectively; I doubt this can be helped much with the current per-language (as opposed to: per-country) templates; any suggestions on this? -- FSF associate member #7257 Вчера я внес в SFD Wiki несколько новых, русскоязычных шаблонов: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountryRuTemplate http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CityRuTemplate http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/TeamRuTemplate Мне бы хотелось, чтобы кто-либо из русскоговорящего сообщества проверил их на предмет опечаток, ошибок, etc. Также, Frederic Muller отметил, что вызов шаблона CountryRuTemplate может быть добавлен к http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2013, при условии, что представители других стран (кроме РФ) будут заинтересованы в создании соответствующих страниц на русском. Действительно, русский язык является официальным в нескольких граничащих с РФ странах (см., e. g., [1].) В частности, AIUI, существует активное украинское русскоязычное сообщество свободного ПО. Такое сообщество было и в Казахстане (e. g., http://gnu.kz/) и мне удалось связаться с его представителем около года назад. Увы, с его слов, это сообщество более не активно. (Впрочем, одна команда все же отметилась на Wiki [2] в прошлом году.) [1] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Русский_язык [2] http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2012/Kazakhstan Откуда вопрос: не будут ли регистрирующие мероприятия в странах с существенной долей русскоязычного населения заинтересованы в русскоязычной странице страны (равно как и города и команды)? Еще два замечания: • до сих пор, /названия/ страниц русскоязычных команд и их городов были на английском (/2013/Russia/Barnaul/ASU); теперь, когда в формах упоминается «Добавить город» и «Создать страницу» (вместо «Create city» и «Create team,» соответственно), не окажется ли, что команды начнут использовать русскоязычные /названия/ страниц (/2013/Russia/Барнаул/АлтГУ, /2013/Россия/Барнаул/АлтГУ)? у такого подхода есть свои преимущества и недостатки; • можно также столкнуться с ситуацией, когда команды одной страны (Канада, Украина) могут пожелать использовать различные языки для своих страниц, и страниц своих городов (английский и французский; русский и украинский); чему использование шаблонов, специфичных для языка (против: для страны) не особенно способствует; предложения? -- FSF associate member #7257
