Shortcuts Available for wiki page names
by Thilo Pfennig July 26, 2010

July 26, 2010

Hi there, I have "invented" a solution for the very long URLs without cluttering the whole wiki. You can now create a short URL on page "s": - http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/s Simply type in the shortcut like "phantasylug" in the form and press "Create Shortcut" The edit the page after the #REDIRECT and enter the path to which the REDIRECT should work like: #REDIRECT 2010/Antarctica/Dot/PhantasyLug Result should be, that when people enter: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/s/phantasylug , they will get to the page: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Antarctica/Dot/PhantasyLug I hope some of you may find that useful, especially for your printing pleasure. And I hope it will work as expected.

Now I believe SFD has a very different focus. It's not about Linux, it's about getting people, anybody, aware and understand what Free Software is. In fact telling people with no or little ideas of what Free Software is, that they should use Linux might confuse them: it might be a too big step. On the contrary recommending FOSS alternative to software they're already using on Windows or MAC OS for example, showing them how easy it is to use without losing their other applications and habits will be a much more successful path. People don't change habits with no reason, and they need time. A happy Firefox or OOo user might consider trying Linux after a few months, an unhappy Linux user will never look back to Free Software and give our community a bad name. Also take into consideration that the way you address and attract people to a Linux conference and Software Freedom Day event should be very different. Your audience is different, and the marketing efforts you will put in will be different. My problems here, is not really about the date, but a lot more about the message and effectiveness of getting your Linux event as a recognized SFD event. In my opinion you would do much better by making a smaller scale SFD event in September and using the buzz from every other events to attract non Free Software users interested in both the concept and the options at hand. Please do consider the above with your team. Thank you for your interest and discussing the issue with everyone, I am sure this will help other teams as well in their event preparation. Best regards, Fred SFI
