Goodies update
by Frederic Muller - SFI Aug. 8, 2011

Aug. 8, 2011

Hi again! As we clearly stated at the registration opening only the first 200 teams registered before August 2nd would get a team pack (this is a financial and logistic limit). It turns out we had about an extra 23 teams who registered before the deadline. So for those teams who registered passed the 200 mark but still were able to provide an address we are very happy to announce that Google has provided us with extra funding and we'll be able to ship the team supplies for you too! I'm personally very excited by the goodies this year. Thanks to the marketing team feedback we have iron-transfer stickers to make your own T-Shirts. It's a lot lighter and cheaper and allows us to provide somehow 'more t-shirts' for everybody. The design also matches our new website design and uses the new logo made by Jeff Lim, and we love it. I did my own t-shirt and I was so happy to wear it. One thing the SFI board was afraid of with iron-transfer technology was the quality. Well I think we managed very well on that end. So a big thank you to Google, a big thank you to you for making SFD happen every year and Happy SFD. Please do help us to spread the word, use our banners here http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Promote , blog, microblog, etc . We'll have a countdown counter up soon as well. Fred ps: goodies will start shipping early next week. howto: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/TshirtLabels

A real SFD planet
by Frederic Muller - SFI Aug. 7, 2011

Aug. 7, 2011

Dear all, While team packs are being packed and we're running after the few team leaders who provided us a PO Box instead of a street address we're also continuing improving our web infrastructure, providing better features or translations. A few members of our community have provided a lot of help this year and have helped us to achieve things we've been longing for years. One thing which has been discussed since end of last year was refactoring of the SFD Planet (previously on http://planet.softwarefreedomday.org) and providing additional languages. After fighting with the technical details and getting bits of translations here and there we are not very please to announce that the planet is fully integrate into our main website and that the language switcher at the top of the page allows to go from one planet to another one automatically. It also saves us a lot of work in maintenance as those pages template used to be manually generated. So to every SFD team leader out there, if you do have a blog and are not on SFD planet of your language please do send us your feed, an hackertgotchi or a photo of yourself (we'll do the hackergotchi for you). Also note that in order to start a new language we need at least 3 feeds and a bit of translation help. Thank you and happy preparation! Fred ps: oh and yes, the planet link is now : http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/en/community/sfd-planet rss feeds haven't changed

SFD "Registration is On" Campaign - We need your help
by Pockey Lam July 31, 2011

July 31, 2011

Dear everybody, We prepared 200 packs of goodies and we have around 140 teams registered so far. That means we still have five days to get 60 teams! In order to do that we need your help to run a "SFD registration is on" campaign! Would everyone try to find the contacts of all the local communities in your country and inform them about the SFD registration and ask them to organize and register a SFD event? Let's keep track of the local communities list here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/MarketingCommittee/CommunityList so we can reuse it for the coming years. If you cannot edit the wiki page, please send me an email separately to tell me your wiki login name, I can add you in the MarketingGroup or feel free to send me the list so I can add it for you. I drafted an email to send to local communities, please feel free to modify, localize and send to your local communities. Blogging and microblogging would be great too. I had already contacted 100+ local communities so far and contacting more, will update on the wiki list as next step. With everybody's help, we can definitely bring SFD to more places, so let's do it! If you have other ideas of how to promote SFD to potential organizers, please share them here, we can always do better! *Email* Register your SFD2011 event now -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you plan to organize a Software Freedom Day (SFD) event this year, but haven't registered yet, you should definitely go to register as soon as possible to get some goodies on or before August 2nd! SFD Goodies availability is subject to first come first served basis and each pack will include 3 t-shirts, 20 stickers, 10 tshirt transfer labels, 3 dvds, 20 balloons anda 2-meter long banner :-) Registration is very easy, you just need to : 1) create a wiki page of your event under wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2011, and then 2) go to http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py to submit your event information. <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CreateYourTeampage>If you have any issue regarding registration, you may read our howto on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CreateYourTeampage or contact us via email: sfd-discuss(at)sf-day.org or IRC: #sfd @freenode server. If you wonder what is SFD or how to organize or participate in a SFD event? Please go to our website on http://www.softwarefreedomday.org and read our startguide on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/StartGuide If you already registered your SFD event, all the best to your preparation! Please also help us to promote Software Freedom Day by placing a SFD web banner on your website / blog: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Promote and link back to your SFD event page or softwarefreedomday.org front page. Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pockey

Hi! A question about the SFD event date.....
by karan pratap singh July 30, 2011

July 30, 2011

Hi all fellow SFDers A Quick Question... Is the date 17th September compulsory for hosting a SFD event? can we host SFD 2 or 3 days before? I ask this because we may have our unit tests in our university starting from 16th September lasting till 20th September... so it will be great if we could host the event on 13th September, 2011 since otherwise on 17th many students in my college as well as the organizing team members will be busy with tests... I ask this since I *really* want to host a SFD this year, it has been my dream since last year a SFD was hosted by our seniors :) -- regards, Karan Pratap Singh PULUG Panjab University Chandigarh India
