From Hanoi and wondering from the rest of asia

by David Tremblay

It's been 4 years now we started to do the SFD in Ha Noi (Viet Nam) while looking at http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/2007 We started wondering why there's so few team in asia. If you have friends (or friends of friends) that live in the region. You should ring them and ask them to do something. I'm especially thinking of China who should have at least 2 teams. If you check more there's no team in north africa and none in Brazil. If you have friends there, ring them -- David Tremblay Information Technology for development analyst www.ngocentre.org.vn System Administrator Oxfam Québec *emails:* david(a)ngowiki.net // david(a)ngocentre.org.vn *Phones:* Mobile : 84-4-0912 474 995 SIP : 1-747-004-8537 skype : ict4ngo *Webs:* www.oxfam.qc.ca // http://blog.ngowiki.net // www.hanoilug.org *Messaging* jabber network :ict4ngo@jabber.org

110 teams registered!

by Pia Waugh

Hi all, we now have over 110 teams already registered for SFD 2007! This is particularly exciting as we are still 2 1/2 months out. We'll be putting out a press release about SFD in the coming week, so if any teams want to polish up their pages for mass consumption, or provide us with some quotes for the PR that would be great! Rock on for SFD 2007! Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day http://softwarefreedomday.org/

Re: [SFD-discuss] Two regional teams from one the same region

by Robert Schumann

If you'd like the contact details of the team leader of the existing Bangladesh team, just let me know (off-list, i.e. don't send your email to the sfd-discuss mailing list). The same goes for anyone else who would like to contact a team leader! Robert.

Great question! My first recommendation is to contact the team directly using the details on their page. If you still want to run your own event because you have a different audience or are in a different area, go for it! We had about 15 teams in Australia last year. We are a big spread out country so it makes sense to have more local events than a big regional event. Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "The future is here.
