Consider joining Diaspora
by Fabián Rodríguez Aug. 19, 2011

Aug. 19, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone In preparation for Software Freedom Day I am trying to reach as many people as possible but at the same time consolidating and reducing my reliance on non-free / SaaS-only social networks. Among the many questions we anticipate when people discover Free Software, I expect to be ask what exists to replace Facebook / G+ / etc. Although JoinDiaspora.com is described as alpha, it works well for most of my needs now. Combined with identi.ca and http://www.brdcst.it it lets me reach as many people as I want with minimum effort and without loosing control of my data. JoinDiaspora.com *alpha* can only be joined if you have an invite from someone already on it, the current invitation on the site is for beta only. So if someone wants to join, just ask me off-list, make sure you specify your email (even if you're posting from it) and I'll send an invite. Then you can follow the #SFD tag there: https://joindiaspora.com/tags/SFD ...and most importantly, invite more people to help testing/improve Diaspora. I am aware there has been some controversy on how Diaspora started and how it is developped. I personally think trying these tools even though they may fail or not go through achieving their full potential is valuable, if only ot learn from mistakes and problems - and if it works for me, I can live with the criticism. Any and all suggestions welcome, and if you already are on joindiaspora.com, I am magicfab(a)joindiaspora.com there: https://joindiaspora.com/u/magicfab Cheers, - -- Fabian Rodriguez http://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:MagicFab http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011/Canada/Montreal Help us invite other Canadian people hold an event on SFD: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CanadaInvitations -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGP/Mime available upon request Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk5OTy8ACgkQfUcTXFrypNVHtgCgpS3wSBdnSNtIfS7CapqkZHqJ kmEAoOi9ABdhXepQgEjHGvLP8Pb6WPzp =huKM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Greetings to all, Me and my team here in University of Benin Nigeria are trying to set up a Linux User Group. I would say its not easy and thanks to Canonical who gave us 10 CDs on Ubuntu 9.04 last year which we are gladly making use of and I must say that the operating system is great and most people we preach it to loved it. We are still on the learning phase of Linux and we love to do great things and we believe that by hosting a freedom software day here we do a lot more talking for us, my team and I are working hard for our website and if there is any help any one can render we will be grateful for the assistance.We're also looking for volunteers to help us get direct site were we could download UBUNTU packages and update for off line mode installation that will help a lot because Internet access is one of our limiting factors here and that is why most persons here shy away from UBUNTU Thanks for your time and the great work you guys are all doing I will like to have assistance in the form of advice, download links, pdf materials, books, etc that can help us, please do contact us. Please be rest assured that my team and I will be very grateful for any assistance that you have to offer. That will be all for now and we hope you're starting to get ready for this year SFD. Thank you all. Warm regards, Odion Endurance

SFD Countdown soft launch
by Frederic Muller - SFI Aug. 18, 2011

Aug. 18, 2011

Dear all, We've finally put up a countdown banner (190x200) to SFD. Currently only in English but we have the abilities to translate it as well. Since the event is global we have made one banner per existing time zone on planet Earth (we're thinking bigger for next year and maybe Mars and Neptune support...). So for example if you're using the current English banner and are located in the UK, you'll be at UTC+1 . The banner direct link for you will therefore be: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png and the code to include in your site: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png" border="0" width="190" height="200" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a> List of supported timezones is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset Full documentation and source files can be found here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown Should people want to help localize there are already Portuguese and German on the way, you can probably help finish those 2. Any question please let us know. We'll let the weekend pass, see what other languages we get done and then official announce the counter, with a nicely design page to integrate in the www website. Should you want to use a totally different design, we'll need to modify the script as there is a language symmetry in the current script which will need to be changed. Any question, please ask! Thanks and happy SFD preparations! Fred
