Today is Sysadmin Appreciation Day
by Frederic Muller - SFI July 29, 2011

July 29, 2011

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that today is Sysadmin Day http://www.sysadminday.com/ and that you should make a little gesture towards all the people you know filling the requirements either as their normal day job or as volunteers of a system administrator. Thanks to them your emails, websites, office computers (or personal) run (or don't) smoothly. It's definitely not an easy job and you only get to see people when they have problems. If you're short of ideas, you can find a gift list here: http://www.sysadminday.com/gifts.html So happy day to the sysadmin out there! Fred

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. Thank you very much and more power to all, Meric ________________________________ From: Frederic Muller - SFI <fred(a)softwarefreedomday.org> To: sfd-discuss(a)sf-day.org Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [SFD-discuss] Celebrate Software Freedom Day Song Dear Meric, Thanks a lot for the great song! 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.
