Package arrived yesterday

by Kevin Cole

For your records, the Washington, DC package arrived yesterday. Thanks. Especially thanks for removing dates from stuff: Since in recent years, the package has arrived after our event, it means the materials from this year can be used next year, because most of it is date-free. (This year, we used last year's package, which also was date-free.) I haven't been paying attention, and only noticed Free Education Day from the flyers sent with this year's package. So, thanks for that info too. I need to look into that further, since that's really where my interest lies: FLOSS / FLOSH in education -- schools, libraries, community centers, etc.

Hello, I just noticed that the countdown for English is now showing 2012 instead of 2013. Although it still shows that it will hold tomorrow. Here is a sample: http://fuoye.edu.ng/discover-fuoye/eventsconferences/sfd-2013 Cheers!

Countdown(s)

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! A bit in a rush I've just remembered that some languages were missing image 01.png, 00.png and 00here.png meaning that the countdown are not longer appearing correctly for them. Those are: - Estonian - Persian - Arabic - Greek Please can someone who speak any of those language rush to http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown , download the svg source file and upload the 3 images under the proper page. Let me know if you need any help (I don't speak any of those languages, but I can do other things ;-) ). Thanks a lot. Fred
