We have over 250 SFD teams!
by Robert Schumann July 24, 2009

July 24, 2009

Hello SFD'ers, We've passed the 250 registered teams mark, and we're rapidly closing in on our shipping deadlines to get supplies to teams. I hope your preparations for SFD are going well! This email is to let you know that, although we will definitely be shipping supplies to all teams that have registered before now, any teams that register from now on will receive supplies only if we have availability. Naturally we will be trying to ship materials to as many teams as we can, so there may still be time. Note that we will send out emails to all team leaders who have registered, letting them know when shipments have been sent and whether or not they'll be receiving anything. Good luck with your preparations - and don't forget you can get in touch with the SFI team with any questions/comments by emailing us at info(a)sf-day.org. Regards, Robert. President, Software Freedom International

Any ideas of shipment of the goodies ?
by shirish July 21, 2009

July 21, 2009

Hi all, There was an e-mail on 6th of July telling about shipment of the goodies but nothing after that. Does anybody know when the shipments are going to be scheduled ? There's roughly 2 months left (just a day short) to the event. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Deepening the GNU/Linux community
by shirish July 10, 2009

July 10, 2009

Hi all, Apart from the usual things that one needs to speak about Free Software, I have also made some pointers as to the way I see things in my community http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/deepening-the-gnulinux-com… This is just an attempt to let some of the developers, testers, users and to be users to know what some of the problem areas and atleast have awareness about them. Some of them have answers, for some answers need to be found and so on and so forth. Feel free to add or rip apart whatever you think is right. Also perhaps some of these questions could be used if found fitting with technical audiences (as they love challenges :) ) . Comments, suggestions, brickbats all welcome :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

How to raise money to support your group
by Luis Gustavo Lira June 20, 2009

June 20, 2009

Hi, I am curious whether any of the groups subscribed to the list are successfully using Ads or other kind of advertising on their blogs/sites to raise money to support their ongoing efforts. If anyone has experience with approaching corporations or foundations for money to sustain projects in exchange for ads on their site. Another way to think about it is whether projects can make money offering services. I'm doing some research on sustainability and fundraising. We are using adsence and amazon on our blogs however our founds sources are the traditional, usually International NGOs with local chapters in Peru: Ashoka, Lemelson, NESsT, Tecnoserve, etc. http://scitechbizdev.blogspot.com/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ¡Obtén la mejor experiencia en la web!

SFD is on Talk Like a Pirate Day?
by R. Steven Rainwater June 19, 2009

June 19, 2009

I just noticed that SFD 2009 is scheduled to occur on International Talk Like a Pirate Day (19 Sep). Is that intentional, perhaps to raise the topic of software piracy or something? Or was it just a coincidence? I'm betting the SFD t-shirts and artwork this year have some sort of pirate theme! :) -Steve
