Spanish locale for the website
by Alexandro Colorado July 28, 2011

July 28, 2011

I still see many website articles in english, maybe it would be a good idea to start localization on them. For example: http://softwarefreedomday.org/es/sfd/software-freedom Wiki is better localized but since there are still many places where the website would be the first point of contact would be good to have a complete locale on them. -- *Alexandro Colorado* *OpenOffice.org* Español http://es.openoffice.org

Thank you too for sharing with us an important/ relevant article to clarify copyright and non-commercial issues.? Upon reading along and pondering we realize how NC could be restrictive and may also be not towards culture and community building. Let us however be regarded a little time to consider our options more concretely and we promise to revert to you guys on a detailed and more positive note.

Definitely a worthy addition to our marketing tools for team organizers. I do have a small problem regarding the license being NC. Organizing a SFD event means that some team will raise funds and maybe even make money (for themselves or the organization they represent). So in that context NC being so vague could conflict with such an event. NC is also a lot more restrictive than GPL Nina Paley has a good blog post related to the issue which you can read here: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2010/09/01/paley-vs-doctorow/ And then some more: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2011/07/04/rantifesto/ http://blog.ninapaley.com/2010/10/20/creative-commons-branding-confusion/ With this in mind it would be really nice if you could re-license the song under a CC-BY-SA or CC-BY Thanks a lot for your consideration and looking forward to reading from you soon.

random bug in the JavaScript library used to hide the address details
by Frederic Muller - SFI July 25, 2011

July 25, 2011

hi! I have been notified by 2 team leaders that the registration form in certain conditions doesn't display the address fields even when requesting supplies is set to Yes. The bug is confirmed upstream and while we tested the fix, it doesn't seem to be working for us. We have temporary set up an alternate registration form for people affected by the bug here: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register_alternate.py Sorry for the inconvenience and happy preparations. Thanks. Fred

Registration problem - was(Re: SFD marketing meeting Sunday July 24 @ 1400UTC)

Moving this to discuss. Are you referring to team/event registration? and if so can you give the exact error message? Delivery address is only checked if the "need supplies" field is enabled.

Change the %20's back to spaces. I had the same problem earlier today. I don't know how well it will cope with the other punctuation. So try this: Singapore/Free & Open Source Alliance (Singapore)

SFD 2011 registration is LIVE!!!
by Frederic Muller - SFI July 24, 2011

July 24, 2011

Dear all, This is with a great pleasure (and small delay) that we are announcing registration opening for SFD 2011! In fact some of you have already started to create you wiki pages and participated in the soft opening and registration testing that we started 2 days ago. Most bugs should have been cleared out of the way and I remain available for any problem you may encounter through email or on IRC (#SFD on freenode). Major highlights of the registration rewriting: - I didn't get any help from anyone so it took more time (I am no developer) - UTF-8 support, so all those South-American addresses we used to struggle with because of corrupted letters should be problems of the past - Better SFD Wiki URL check (I'd say 100% reliable now) - Ported to python so I can 'maintain' it now - The form asks for and matches SFD wiki login and email address which will allow you to update map coordinates later (still need to code that update bit) - Fixed Open Street Map marker click offset - Total event count on the global map page - Easy integration with the current web site design, and any design. That will make it easier for others to use it since we said we would release the code (still needs to do some cleanup and documentation writing though) - Saves directly in CSV format making it a lot easier to handle that big file at the end of the registration period. There are still one or two known issues (like the phone number format only gets check on the server side, requiring you to refill the form if you got it wrong - but we're working on it). Hopefully it should make the whole experience better and allow us to fix or improve it based on the feedback we get. A special thanks goes to Charles from Canada who spotted a very annoying address input bug and Jean from Belgium who sent me an extensive report, and all the others who participated. The other news for the year is that we are cash positive again and goodies are in production as we speak. This year we have raised sufficient funds to produce team packs for 200 teams (50% of last year total registered events). I want to particularly thank our sponsors who are making this possible, namely Canonical, Google, Nokia/Qt in China and Linode. We have also attracted more media sponsors this year (from 2 to 5 in total now) where we are running a A4/Letter size ad in the August/September edition for most (some are quarterly magazines). In no specific order those are Linux Magazine (long time partner), Linux Journal (yeah, welcome!), Ubuntu User, Admin Magazine and Smart Developer. And we are still in discussion with 2 or 3 other organizations. This year we also had a lot of back and forth with the Free Software Foundation about the impact of distributing non-free GNU/Linux distributions and pretending 'it is ok'. At the end proprietary software remains proprietary be it an office application or a device driver. Our objective is to educate the world about using high quality free and open source software and that is what we should be doing. This is a long topic and we will get back to it later this summer. Like last year there are about 10 days to goodies deadline (limited to the first 200 teams and Canonical is still providing Ubuntu CDs), so just go create a new team page under http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011 (not continent this year) and fill that form on http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py Last but not least I want to thank all the new volunteers who have joined the SFD global marketing team and are helping with global tasks. One of the net outcome has been our new SFD logo for 2011 which we will keep moving forward (thank you David, Jeff and Maxus Singapore) and the multimedia DVD which we have finally managed to make (thank you Diego, Marcos, Pockey). All artworks are available on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork and under a CC-BY license. And happy SFD preparations! Do subscribe to the discuss mailing list[1] if you haven't yet, read SFD Planet [2] read our blog[3] to keep posted (or RSS feed[4] to it). Any question do let us know. The SFI Board ps: do check the SFD 2010 winners for inspiration and thank you to Makerbot and FSF for the prizes. http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/competition/winners-2010 [1]: http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/sfd-discuss [2]: http://planet.softwarefreedomday.org (we also have Spanish, Portuguese and German - URLs need to be updated) [3]:http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/blog [3]: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/blog?format=feed&type=rss
