Ubuntu CD Pack Surprise Custom Charges!!!
by karan pratap singh Aug. 31, 2011

Aug. 31, 2011

Hi all I met a guy from TNT courier service today, he came to my home demanding approximately 45 USD for Custom charges that were put on the value of the Ubuntu CDs pack I was supposed to get as a part of my SFD package.....I had ordered the max possible quantity of CDs that was possible while registration, and the CDs weigh about 6.7 KiloGrams....My friend in another state of India, also organizing SFD, received 60 CDs but did not get charged any custom fee! Are these charges even meant to be paid by us? Now, will SFD people reimburse me for this amount? Since we are college students and a bit tight with the budget, moreover we have already spent most of our money on booking a good venue for our SFD celebrations. The TNT guy said that if I do not pay him, then say goodbye to packages! -- regards, Karan Pratap Singh PULUG, Chandigarh, India

SFD in Odessa (Ukraine)
by Дмитрий Сподарец Aug. 31, 2011

Aug. 31, 2011

Hi all, My name is Dmitry Spodarets. I am the organizer of 2011 FOSS Sea – The 4thAnnual International Free Software Developer & User Conference that will take place on September 16-18 in Odessa, Ukraine. The agenda will include a mini FOSS project show, and we have an idea of installing a Software Freedom Day presentation desk there. Unfortunately, we were a bit late to apply for the SFD pack, so we will highly appreciate if anyone can help us to get the goodies, either by sending them to us or by making a financial contribution so that we can produce the staff locally. We will be also very grateful if you place the info about our Conference on your websites. The event’s website is http://www.foss-sea.org.ua, but its English page is available at http://expopromoter.com/events/130502/iv_mezhdunarodnoy_konferentsii_foss_s… Speakers and FOSS projects (including in science & research) are welcome to join the event, as well as companies that have any FOSS-based solutions. P.S. Will be happy to meet/talk to organizers of FOSS conferences from other countries to share experience :) -- Sincerely, Dmitry Spodarets *icq:* 259980; *jabber:* m31(a)jabber.od.ua; *skype:* m31-rootua; * tel:* +38(063)735-35-26, +38(048)735-35-26, +38(050)391-28-70; * e-mail:* m31(a)root-ua.com; LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/spodarets>; twitter <https://twitter.com/m31_rootua>; FB<http://www.facebook.com/spodarets>; VK <http://vk.com/spodarets>; Google+<https://plus.google.com/102706876917088562000> ;
