Dear Fred, Iam writing from Zambia . My name is Misheck Mutuzana Team Leader for 2010/Africa/Zambia/Copperbelt Software Freedom Day. Iam also encountering the same problem that my colleague from Ethiopia is having. Each time i try to register my team for Software Freedom Day i always get a message telling me that: " The team wiki page you specified, http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Africa/Zambia/Copperbelt, does not exist. Please create your team's wiki page first before submitting your registration. Iam worried that we won't get materials for Software Freedom Day on time if i do not register.

Let us guide you through the necessary steps: 1. You need to create a wiki account at http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/FrontPage?action=newaccount 2. Login 3. Now from the wiki front page (http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/ ) you follow the link that says "SFD 2010 <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010> - This is the central page to find or add a team worldwide! " Direct link is: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010 4. From there you go to your continent which is Africa: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Africa 5. Look for Ethiopia and... it doesn't exist yet! 6. Create you country: at the bottom of this page there is a text box where you simply type Ethiopia and it will create the page for you. 7. Now you're in edit mode for your country. You might want to replace "SFD @PAGE@" by "SFD 2010 Ethiopia" and eventually add a description of your country. One source that comes to my mind is wikipedia, just copy the introduction and that will be a good start. 8. Save the page. Do not forget to answer the question just below the save button! 9. You are now on your country page asking you to create a new City or Region. Same process, enter what suit best your event location, do the text change and add a bit of description. I guess you will chose Mek'ele here. 10. Save. Remember the question under the save button! 11. You're now on your City page. You can create your Team page. Save thing, there is a text box at the bottom of the page where you can just type in the Team name and validate: it will automatically create your team page. 12. Edit your page with all the details needed. 13. Go back to you city page and replace Team1 with your team name and add a link to your team page (which should be /2010/Africa/Ethiopia/Mek'ele/YourTeamName (YourTeamName is your real team name). Save again. You're done. Now in the registration form you will just have to enter Africa/Ethiopia/Mek'ele/YourTeamName and it will work. The process is a bit long because you're the first team in Ethiopia. However by following those steps you ensure people looking at the team list http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CategoryTeam or at the Region list http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CategoryRegion will find your city and your team. Also please do not remove the CategoryTeam tag from your team list: it is that which makes the listing automatic. I hope this was clear enough. Let us know if you're still having issues. Thanks.

A few updates (marketing and registration)
by Frederic Muller - SFI July 23, 2010

July 23, 2010

Dear all, In the email: 1. Registration count update 2. Marketing efforts and tracking 3. Migration to Open Street Map in progress 4. Discussions available on mailing list and IRC channel 1. Registration count update I just wanted to let you know what has been happening so far. With a last kick start for registration and a whole new site for SFD we've hit a few technical bumps but have mainly solved most of them. Within the first 24 hours we received over 100 registration. We are now at about 160 teams, however we mistakenly removed a good 10 teams from China as they appeared (to someone from the team) as spam. Our apologies, we're going through the logs and will try to re-add them avoiding the need to re-register. 2. Marketing efforts and tracking We are now in the phase of spreading the word out as our objective from 2010 is to reach 1000 teams worldwide, a 200 increase from last year. We believe this is achievable but need your help. We have set up a page to track our current submissions to various news sites, community sites, blogs and such. You can find it here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Marketing/SitePosting Please help us to complete the page so we don't do double submissions. Also help us to spread the word out. 3. Migration to Open Street Map in progress Last but not least, as promoters of Software Freedom it is important for us to use Free Software. Since 2008 we had been looking for help to migrate our map to Open Street Map and have finally found someone to work on this. It is currently in the development stage but you can have a preview here: http://www.rigacci.org/2010/map2.shtml (those are sample data and doesn't get updated at all) We want to extend a big thank you to Niccolo for his support. Hopefully we should all be able to use OSM very soon. 4. Discussions available on mailing list and IRC channel Those are the news for now. Should you have any question please do not hesitate to subscribe to sfd-discuss (or es-planning for Spanish speakers) if not yet done, and let us know. We are also regularly on our SFD IRC channel on freenode (#sfd). The mailing list page is here: http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo Thank you for your support and happy SFD preparation. Fred

July 22, 2010

Hello, teams out there. I have two things to mention that bother me: 1. There are no source files of the logo, to have it translated (hm, yes, just the date...) in german. 2. What is the "official" font of this year? (Jura, Libel Suit, ...)? If this things are missing, I would gladly load them up. I have the svg's and TrueTypes/OpenFonts from last year.

Redirects from the old site's dead pages to the new site.
by Lars Nooden July 21, 2010

July 21, 2010

If there is time, please use mod_rewrite[1] to redirect user to the new pages or at least to the new site. Sending an HTTP response (301) 'Moved Permanently' might also help the search engines update, because the old pages are still turning up in Google. This one turned up just now near the top of the search results but gives a 404 Not Found error: http://softwarefreedomday.org/about The redirects can point to individual pages if there is a 1:1 mapping or just to a page on the new site saying that there is a new address and to rummage around there. Regards /Lars [1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2

Deadline for CDs
by Thilo Pfennig July 21, 2010

July 21, 2010

Hi, can somebody again write what the deadline for registration to be able to order the CDs is? In the announcement it says "10 days". But thats a relative date, not an absolute one. I think if we want to encourage people to register early the absloute date is essential. So we should fix this on the website but if it is answered on this list, everybody here knows, too.
