What's this year's swag?
by Kevin Cole Aug. 10, 2012

Aug. 10, 2012

Hi, I regret (a) not being more active on mailing lists, and (b) only JUST getting around to registering for this year's SFD, three days ago. So, I've missed the swag deadline, I think. (An old message said July 15 was the deadline, but the site said August 7.) In any case, I figure "first come, first serve" will have eliminated me. But, out of idle curiosity, what's the swag box contain this year? --

free software-themed materials
by Ivan Shmakov Aug. 10, 2012

Aug. 10, 2012

In planning-ru@, an effort was started to design “Join us on SFD” flyers, with a note on a “featured” software on the reverse. A number of prominent free software packages was suggested (including, e. g., Emacs, Firefox, FlightGear, GNU Octave, VLC, etc.), and the text for such notes was quickly scraped off (sometimes subject to translation into Russian) from the respective Wikipedia articles and projects' own Web pages. Unfortunately, there was a catch: contrary to Wikipedia, the Web pages maintained as part of free software projects aren't necessarily free by themselves. Now, we have a couple of such examples at hand. I've asked in the respective mailing list for one (and waiting for an answer), and will probably ask for another, too. Meanwhile, what are the other ideas for promotional materials mentioning particular free software? Are there prominent free posters or videos (dedicated to prominent free software) we can show at SFD (translating if necessary)? TIA. -- FSF associate member #7257 http://sf-day.org/

Spanish countdown
by Rodrigo Rodríguez Aug. 3, 2012

Aug. 3, 2012

Hello, I just uploaded the needed files for the spanish Countdown [0]. I can't remove the files already there, from 2011. I also edited the frontpage [1] adding spanish to the language availables. I'm only requesting for review the files and the script, which I made them by inertia. :P Cheers, [0] http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/es [1] http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown -- Rodrigo Rodríguez http://mundonomada.info __ Prohibido prohibir.

a couple of minor issues with the SFD Wiki's front page
by Ivan Shmakov July 14, 2012

July 14, 2012

I've just noticed a couple of issues with the Wiki's front page. The first of them is a typographical one: ASCII hyphens (-, U+002D) are used in place of proper em dashes (U+2014; cf. [1].) I've run a simplistic sed(1) substitution over the text, proofread it briefly, applied a couple more of manual fixes, and now MIME the result. The other issue is the mention of SFI where, I guess, DFI should've been mentioned. Thus I suggest the following change: -This SFD Wiki is organized by the Software Freedom International [[sfi|SFI]]. +This SFD Wiki is organized by the [[DFI|Digital Freedom International]] (DFI).
