by 三秒緯 March 28, 2012

March 28, 2012

Hello, we are a team of free software project "ezgo" in taiwan, we want to translate this website into Traditional Chinese, so that people in Taiwan or China can easliy understand what the frontpage is saying. We would love to know how to do this, and beside translate the website that already exist, we also want to keep updating the new article into Traditional Chinese. So, if anyone can teach us how to do it, it will be very great! Thank you! -- 徐志緯 Ubuntu-TW 行政管理員行政院研考會「自由軟體網路學習應用及推廣」計畫第3期之討論區負責人自由軟體公民團體運動國家型典藏推廣計劃研究助理 Plurk：http://www.plurk.com/aa33002 Facebook：http://www.facebook.com/aa33002

Information about Document Freedom Day 2012
by Marcos Marado Jan. 27, 2012

Jan. 27, 2012

Hi there, Please forgive me on this slightly off-topic message, but it is my understanding that most people interested in Software Freedom would also be on Document Freedom, and maybe teams participating on SFD would also be interested in participating on DFD. Document Freedom Day (DFD) <http://documentfreedom.org> is a global day for document liberation. It is a worldwide event celebrating Open Standards and raising general awareness about the need for their adoption. DFD is actively redefining perceptions of Open Standards in media, public administration and educational institutions. Thanks to generous donations, in the last year we were able to: - Organise 42 events in 14 different countries around the world, ranging from Brazil and Mexico, to Greece and Portugal, - Coordinate an important talk at the European Parliament with multiple speakers, and - Raise the profile of pioneering users of Open Standards, such as German news website 'tagesschau.de', by awarding certificates and prizes in view of the press. The winner of the DFD 2011 Germany prize went to a popular news website which provides its 1.4m daily visitors with current affairs videos in the Free video format Ogg Theora. The award was presented in Berlin, resulting in coverage in 8 national and international media outlets. The city of Munich received the European prize, for the use of Open Standards in its LiMux project. In 2012 we will celebrate Document Freedom Day for the fourth time. We shall again organise more than 42 events, include countries that were previously not involved, and strenghten engagement with the public sector. To make these plans a reality, we need your support as a partner of Document Freedom Day 2012! Talk with your friends/regional groups, and think about activities and events that you could organise to promote Open Standards. We would be happy to help you with ideas, prize-giving, and finding sponsors. With your help we will be able to organise more events in 2012, and together we can raise awareness for Open Standards around the world. At the moment we are coordinating our activities with international partners and sponsors. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information about partnership opportunities for Document Freedom Day 2012. Please let us know until 6. February if you want to organise your own activity or event, and/or if you want to be listed on our supporter page as a supporting organisation. Your participation makes a difference! Best regards, -- Marcos Marado ANSOL - http://ansol.org

Free Culture Disk
by Frederic Muller - SFI Jan. 19, 2012

Jan. 19, 2012

Dear all, I'd like to get started on preparing the free culture disk and fixing the few issues we had last year (file formats, better content, hosting/repository). While I believe the people helping to make it happen are still available to help, I was wondering which platform/site would be the best to host, manage and distribute the project? Our requirements are simple: - free bandwidth - discussion channels (list or web based) - easily accessible from all over the world (if possible) - large size file storage (DVD size) - version control system So suggestions and experience on the matter definitely welcome. Thanks. Fred

by Frederic Muller - SFI Jan. 18, 2012

Jan. 18, 2012

Dear all, Best wishes to all of you and time for me to send out some updates: - The SFI board has been re-elected. There is no change for 2012 which is a good thing: a little stability should help us to reach new territories :D - We are of course very concerned about SOPA and have joined the strike as many others. SFD website will come back from the dark on the 19th - Lemote, a manufacturer of MIPS computers using only free drivers has joined the rank of our sponsors for the SFD competition and will provide 3 Yeeloong netbook for the winners of 2011 (while prizes for the 2010 winners have almost all arrived, we're still tracking what's missing) - The FSF will be providing again Richard Stallman essays and Richard will sign the book himself for the 2nd year - The competition participation form is now live and can be filled here: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/report.py . Only teams who have registered their SFD events in 2011 can participate. You will also need to provide the email address used for registration. Rules can be checked when the SOPA strike is over at this address: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/competition => any problem, bug, question please don't hesitate to email sfd-discuss Let's make 2012 a great year for all of us. We are planning to resume active preparations very soon and will let everyone know! Thank you for your continuous support. Sincerely Frederic Muller on behalf of the SFI board

OT: Fully free colorimeter!
by Frederic Muller - SFI Nov. 20, 2011

Nov. 20, 2011

Hi! A slightly off season off topic post, but since it's addressing one of my itches I thought I would share. Richard Hughes has just launched a fully free (as in freedom) colorimeter project where both the hardware schematics, the firmware and the software will be released under a free license. He is looking for pre-orders (50) and ships worldwide. Initial orders will get a 20% discount making the final price at 48 GBP + shipping and packing. Discount assume you'll be contributing to the project by helping out testing the hardware and software and it might be a bit more complicated than just plug-and-play. Full announcement here: http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2011/11/13/introducing-the-colorhug-open-sou… So if like me you've been longing for accurate colors on your screens but didn't want to buy an overprice proprietary device that didn't even have free drivers for your OS of choice, then it is the time to step up. Thanks. Fred ps: I am not involved in the project at all, so please direct your questions to Richard directly if you have any.

Thanks for supporting SFD 2011!
by Steve Rainwater Nov. 4, 2011

Nov. 4, 2011

I just wanted to offer my thanks to everyone here who helped support SFD 2011! Our event in Dallas was small but successful. We had a lot of people show up. We gave away lots of Ubuntu and Fedora CDs. Thanks for all the swag, it arrived well before the big day and we used nearly all of it. We even inflated all the balloons and decorated the room with them this year. One note about the t-shirts - they suffered major shrinkage. On the first washing, my large became a medium. On the second wash, it shrunk to small. :) But better those orange shirts from a few years ago where the color leached out and stained everything you washed with them. Best t-shirts so far have been the bright green ones (maybe 2007?) - no shrinkage, no color leaching. If anyone knows who made those, use that company to make next year's shirts! We also got some media attention on Geekbeat.tv. Cali Lewis came out and shot video at our event, check it out if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO3N_N3e7Eo -Steve
