I've browsed through both sites and was a bit confused to what RSS feed I could subscribe to. Namely the 2nd site doesn't seem to have a feed and the first site seems to be only talking about LCA (Community news - didn't find other feeds). A bit of help would help :) Thanks a lot. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD in Tasmania (Launceston and Hobart)

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi again, Sorry for being a bit late on this one. I've been trying to find the non-free stuff and it seems to be about GNU/Linux stuff regardless, is that correct? Would it be possible to add a "free" (or similar) tag to the posts talking about Free Software? I also need to find a hackergotchi, which is easy for the TASLUG but I was wondering for your blog? Thanks.

Hey! Thanks for the thanks and for the report. Likewise do you guys have an official site where you blog/publish this report and that we can RSS feed from? We'd love to add to our planet.

Melbourne, Australia report

by Lev Lafayette

Over fifty people attended Software Freedom Day in Melbourne, Australia which ran from 9.30 to 17.00 at 110 Grey Street East Melbourne (Melbourne Unitarian Church hall). The event was jointly organised by Linux Users of Victoria and Free Software Melbourne with the theme of the day was "Free Software for a Free Society". There was six main speakers on the day, covering issues such a content creation with free software, free and open source software in public decision making, privacy issues, the One Laptop per Child project, the organisation of free software communities. In addition to the speakers we had installations of Linux, plenty of t-shirts, software and other paraphernalia giveaways, videos and a free lunch. We would especially like to thank the Melbourne Unitarian Church for letting us use the premises and for BENK Open Systems for the financial support and, of course, the Digital Freedom Foundation, it's sponsors and supporters. -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GCertPM, MBA mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt

Great little event in Guatemala.

by Dulio Samayoa

Greetings We had a great time with our user group and some guests at USAC(Guatemalan public university). We had some talks with coffee and cookies until noon. Then we ate "Shucos" and carnitas(Local food) and went to a Café to chat the rest of the afternoon. We used 2011 banner and Tshirts for the event as the goodie pack just arrived today(Monday September 30 2013) but I'll save them for next year. Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] [sfd] Thanks

by Bob Jonkman

Hi Everybodeee! I thought we had a great Kwartzlab Software Freedom Day and GNU 30th Anniversary celebration here in Kitchener. I also think we had around 45 people attending. I'll upload pictures and video to the SFD Kwartzlab Wiki[1] as soon as they're back from the darkroom. Laurel Russwurm took video of the presentations until the memory in the camera gave out (sorry, Joe Almeida!), as well as pictures. She's working on assembling the video fragments into reasonable wholes, and culling the best pictures out of the thousands she took. You can see some of her work in progress[2a], including the "Three Cheers For GNU" photo and video. I took some phonecam shots as well[2b], trying to use the ownCloud "Instant Upload" feature. I now know that "Upload pictures via WiFi only" means you have to connect to the WiFi to upload pictures, otherwise it's not so Instant. If anyone else took pictures or video, feel free to put them on the Wiki yourself, or you can upload them to my ownCloud "Contributions" folder[3] and I can put them on the Wiki for you. It was a great day, and I hope we do it again next year. Maybe we can even participate in Education Freedom Day[4] or Hardware Freedom Day![5] --Bob.

Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD in Tasmania (Launceston and Hobart)

by Cheeseness (Josh Bush)

We've got a feed for TasLUG news posts, but it's mostly just meeting announcements. We're more than happy for our SFD recap to be shared though http://www.taslug.org.au/modules/news/article.php?storyid=222 I also have a feed for my own site where I've written about F/OSS projects and interviewed developers, but I also write about non-free stuff, so it's possibly less appropriate. Most recently is probably the interview I did with contributors to the F/OSS Desura client http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/desurium.php I completely forgot about the competition. I'll look at submitting something about the Tasmanian SFD events!
