Fred, As the content is not sensitive, I agree you don't need an SSL but it is good practice to have one. If passwords are being sent, that is sufficient to be classed as sensitive so I suggest that you consider encryption; with free Lets Encrypt certs, there is no reason not to. Let me know if you would like a free Lets Encrypt creating and setting up on your server. At OpenUK, we are encouraging a network of Free & Open software leaders from the education sectors. I will find out if anyone has a view regarding appropriate dates for UK educators. All the best, Stuart. > Hi! > > Any private information sent over www.softwarefreedomay.org?

Hi! Any private information sent over www.softwarefreedomay.org? No, so I am not sure why you would need an SSL certificate. The wiki has a password identification though and we're planning to have one, just hasn't been done yet. Now to the other topic, it's about finding a date that would work for "everyone" for EFD. We used to have it in March around Education Week but at this stage we already have DFD in March and HFD in April. So what are our options now? What would work for people in the education sector? Thanks to let us know.

Hi, I was visiting http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ (what, no SSL?) and I got startled by the date mentioning Education Freedom Day. It's stated on the site that it would be on 17 March. However, that's a friday. It should be 18 March. ;) Greetings, Rutger

Thanks for the feedback, Julian. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of free or low cost hosting for such a relatively large file (just under 4GB) that would allow such direct linking via http or ftp.

Re: [SFD-discuss] TTCS OSSWIN v1.60, compilation of Free and Open Source Software for Windows

by Adonay Felipe Nogueira

Hi, it seems I'm unable to get the files due to HubiC's **possibly** non-free JS (see <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html> for more information on the problem), perhaps we should change to Savannah (<http://savannah.gnu.org/>)? Also, I'm starting a similar project, called Libre Media Collection (see <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libre-media>), instead of non-free Firefox, I decided to include GNU IceCat instead. I'm still setting up the project resources (I'll probably switch from CVS to Git or to GNU Bazaar). Respectfully, Adonay. -- # pt-BR: Brasileiro | en: Brazilian * pt-BR: Palestra sobre liberdade de software (movimento filosófico político-social, não tecnológico). * en: Gives talks about software freedom (philosophical, political and social movement, not technological). * pt-BR: Voluntário avaliador de liberdade de software (para software pagos ou gratuitos). * en: Volunteer evaluator of software freedom (for paid software, or gratis software). * pt-BR: Presta suporte e consultoria básicos sobre software livre. * en: Gives basic support and consulting about free/libre software. ## pt-BR: Sobre mim e contato | en: About me and contact <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno>

Hey! Thank you for the report. I am not sure this doesn't comply to my requirements though ;-) . We actually also received others which I am late for posting. So thank you very much for posting your report and letting us know. We'll make sure to highlight it on our blog to, so more people know about it.
