Goodies
by shirish July 14, 2008

July 14, 2008

Hi all, First of all Robert, thank you for getting back so quickly so that got resolved :) Ok, now for the goodies. From what I saw you are sending the following :- (three T-shirts, plus stickers, balloons, badges, FOSS CDs and some resource CDs) all good and all needed. What caught my eye is some resource cd's. Could you elaborate as to how many resource cd's and what they contain? Some of the options as I look are :- 1. Views and interviews of people like RMS, Eden Moglen and others who validate, and/or question free software strategies and business models so people understand not only from a moral point of view but also from a business point of view as well. Perhaps [rant] 2. Perhaps you could also add about "Open Content" and "Open Standards" and "Open Access" . This would dilute the message a bit but on the other hand, these other players are also needed, without either and all of the above 'free software' cannot win on its own. More friends are always welcome, I should say. Two recent examples of "Open Content" which I like are :- 1. "Big Buck Bunny" made by blender which could also be downloaded, but the movie itself and the production files make for 1.5 GB which people from developing nations like myself can't get to due to bandwidth limitations and stuff. 2. The sound samples being released by the OLPC team. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sound_samples Again bandwidth is a limiting all the same :( [/rant] All and any responses to the above are appreciated :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Name and details
by shirish July 13, 2008

July 13, 2008

Hi all, I've registered almost a month or more before. I have a bunch of questions but would use a single mail to query a single question. I registered on the wiki using my name and other things which were required or was told is nice to have on the wiki. After I did that I tried to see how many others have done something similar. Almost all the people who are in Category homepage of the wiki haven't put up anything more than their e-mail addresses. It might be they have privacy concerns or something else altogether. Also was confused as to where to put the picture. A suggestion is when people are putting up their own page it should also give a link to some person (maybe from softwarefreedomday.org itself) which makes it easier for people to have something to use/build on. Alternatively, how or where should we post our contact details so people at softwarefreedomday.org know where to send the packs and perhaps interact on a regional level. All any ideas, suggestions, alternatives are welcomed :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Changing Group Information
by GPCS - Grant Petch July 13, 2008

July 13, 2008

Hi Everyone: I am new to this list as well as being a new leader involved with organising a SFD event in the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula which will be held in the town of Victor Harbor, which is approximately 1.5hrs south of Adelaide South Australia. Now my question.. I've only just a few moments ago registered my team on the SFD website, but if I want to change some details how do I go about this as it didn't give me login details to go back and make changes. The main changes that will be needed will be completed by this upcoming Tuesday, and the changes that will need to be confirmed will be how many leaders / organisers that our group will finally end up having, at this stage I've set this to 12. The next part of my changes will be the number of shirts that we will require and sizes, at this point in time I've only put the information in that I currently have in hand, more will be coming my way before this upcoming Tuesday. Any assistance into how I can finalise my changes will be greatly apprciated Kind Regards, Grant Petch :) SFLUG Organiser & SFD Leader E: gpcs(a)ozemail.com.au

SFD How to load Wiki Webpage??
by GPCS - Grant Petch July 12, 2008

July 12, 2008

Hi List: Just managed to work out how to register for getting a wikipage, as I'm trying to work out how to get a webpage up on the SFD 2008 for our team, and for it to display with everyone elses at www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams and also for it to have its own url at www.softwarefreedomday.org/teams/oceania/au/SouthernFleurieu OK I managed to create and save a page when I registered my own name as "Grant Petch", but from here I have absolutely no idea how I am to get and load the page up where it is supposed to go. I have read the instructions provided on the website on how to do this stuff, but I am still having trouble on working out how to solve this issue, does anyone know what I am to do now from here?? Kind Regards, Grant Petch SFLUG Organiser & SFD Leader E: gpcs(a)ozemail.com.au

Only one week left to register for a SFD team pack
by Pia Waugh July 12, 2008

July 12, 2008

Hi all, Registrations close on July the 15th for the free Software Freedom Day team pack. The first 300 teams registered for SFD will receive a pack with tshirts, stickers, balloons, badges, FOSS CDs and some resource CDs to help their day be awesome. We already have 220 teams registered and the event is almost two months away! For those of you who have registered and need to change any of the details on the SFD world map, please let us know. If you have let us know, please remind us and we'll get straight onto it :) We are putting up a shop again like last year, and hope to have that up within the week. Teams can then purchase additional tshirts if they choose. The artwork for the shirts and stickers are online here so you can always make your own :) http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork/2008?action=AttachFile&do=view&target… Good luck with your planning everyone! I recently helped run a FOSS stand at a very large Australian education expo and this year people are more open to the value and importance of FOSS and software freedom than ever before!. So each of you can make a real difference in your communities and in the world. Many countries are moving towards using software for Government processes like voting and for services, so it is vital we create a baseline expectation of openness, transparency and freedom in software and ultimately in life. Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/

Registration is open for Software Freedom Day 2008!
by Pia Waugh June 27, 2008

June 27, 2008

Hi everyone, SFD2008 is around the corner - Saturday 20 September - and team registrations are now open! The first 300 teams registered before the 15th July will receive a SFD team pack including SFD 2008 tshirts, button pins, stickers and balloons, as well some useful resource CDs including some OpenEducation Discs (http://www.theopendisc.com/education/) a resource DVD with artwork, documentation, presentation templates and video material, and the option for some Ubuntu CDs. Additional T-shirts will also be available to purchase via our online store, which will be open soon. You can register by visiting our registration page but don't forget that you need to make your team page (or update your old page) *before* registering. There is more information about how to form a team and how to register on the teams page on our wiki: http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/register.html http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams Check out who has already registered on our new interactive world map! http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml We wanted to change how people find teams so it was directly through the map rather than by continent and then country due to your excellent feedback last year, so teams can simply be softwarefreedomday.org/team rather than a really long url. If you already have a team page you can create a new page and shift all your data to the new page, or you can just link to your old events from your new page. We will also be ensuring team packages are sent much earlier this year so you get them on time. We had about 20 packages returned to us last year from teams who put the incorrect address or didn't pick up their packages so please ensure your address is 100% correct as we can't check it! Good luck with your SFD 2008 preparations, and don't forget to pass the message around and get more teams involved! We had over 330 teams last year and are anticipating over 500 this year! Thank you all for helping take software freedom to the streets and make a better world for everyone! After all, freedom isn't just for us geeks :) Cheers and happy planning!

Open Education Disc for SFD
by Peter Ruwoldt June 26, 2008

June 26, 2008

Hi I have uploaded an iso of the Open Education Disc without VLC for distribution as part of SFD. I have also created an md5 verifier for the iso. Links as follows http://www.watiwara.org/OpenEdDiscSFD08.md5 http://www.watiwara.org/OpenEdDiscSFD08.iso I would be grateful if someone with some bandwidth were able to download this and check it out so that more than my eyes have looked at it. Does the image work? I've never done the md5 thing before - does it work? Is the CD label OK? Thanks in anticipation Peter -- Free and Open education for all Peter Ruwoldt Grant High School Hosking Avenue MOUNT GAMBIER SA 5290 P. 08 87263128 F. 08 87250173 ruwoldtp(a)granths.sa.edu.au http://ruwoldtp.googlepages.com/
