Education Freedom Day

by Rutger van Sleen

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>

SFD reports or summaries

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Dear all, We're seeing a few organizing teams uploading reports of their events on the wiki. Maybe we could actually publish them under blog post format on DFF website. We would need for that just text, a few photos (like 1-2 I'd say) and eventually links to partners or news reports if any. Please send those preferably off the list to me, or if you prefer in the list. We will publish those over the coming few weeks not all at once in mo specific order. Thank you very much. Fred ps: and yes, the reports should be in English.
