[Planning-en] What is SFD? Help please :)

by Cat Scratch

Hi Everyone, I'm leading the Melbourne based Victorian School of Languages Team! [VSL] I would like to have the following statement in as many languages as possible!! If your language can't be easily written in plain text, you could make a screen shot and send me a jpg! What is Software Freedom Day? Software Freedom Day is a global, grassroots effort to tell people about the virtues and availability of Free and Open Source Software. Free and Open Source Software is freely available from the internet, or on CDs and DVDs. You can install it on as many computers as you like, share it with friends, make copies and even join in and help make it better! Why? The Victorian School of Languages teaches: Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Auslan (australian sign language), Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Croatian, Dutch, Filipino (Tagalog), French, German, Greek (Modern and Classical), Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Maltese, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Pushto, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Tamil, Tigrinya, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese! We want to put this note in the school bulletin, and send it to SBS - Australia's multi-lingual broadcast station - so I need this ASAP - by Monday Please!! Thank You!!!!

We're running on to 17/9 in Christchurch as well. So that's a 96-hour open video/chat link we need for SFD? - all the weekend, everywhere in the world. - Double the Fun :) All trying to coordinate on a single time would be quite problematic, imho (potential clogging, interrupted event flow..). kia ora (be well / hello, in Maaori NZ), -- Rik

Hi James (and everyone else) We're doing our event in October, because it has to be in university term-time. It'll be too late for us to contribute, but it'd be cool to get hold of what you produce to display it at our event! Steve (Team Cardiff)

[Planning-en] Software Freedom Day online linkup...

by Paul Schulz

Greetings all, As part of our event at Mawson Lakes in Adelaide, South Australia we will be setting up a projector with (hopefully) pictures from other events around the world as they happen. To kick this off, I have created a wikipage for people to add their photo links to. http://softwarefreedomday.org/projects/picturewall I can supply the software/pages that I am using for anyone else who would like to do similar... Cheers, Paul Schulz

Then people can cruise in and out of SFD pix-forum mode as it suits them, and we get a sense of all being on the same world-wide page, for at least one (long) day :) Only SFD could offer such international promise. Thanks James, -- Rik
