Free Software OSX CD
by Matthew Davidson Sept. 13, 2007

Sept. 13, 2007

Hi, Just had an enquiry from a Mac user about whether we would be platform agnostic at our event on Saturday. It hadn't occurred to me to see if there was an OpenCD equivalent for OSX. I found one here: http://www.freesmug.org/fscd/ May be useful for teams expecting some Mac users (we have an Apple reseller in our town).

Here's a nice coincidence for 15Sept07: http://www.earthdance.org The locale tracking is worth a lot, for comparing to SFD's. Hope preparation is going well for y'all. Enjoy! ~ Rik pp SoftwareFreedomDay.org Team Christchurch

S5 slideshow template
by Matthew Davidson Sept. 12, 2007

Sept. 12, 2007

I've just added a SFD-customised version of Eric Meyer's S5 HTML/CSS/JavaScript slideshow system to the Artwork page. http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=S5-SF… It's a bit kludgy, but if, like me, you've left it till the last couple of days to prepare any presentations, you may find it useful. Not guaranteed to work in anything but Firefox. In fact not really guaranteed to work there, either, but that's where your chances are best.

high res versions of sponsor logos?
by Douglas A. Whitfield Sept. 11, 2007

Sept. 11, 2007

Are there high res versions of the global sponsor logos anywhere? We are in the middle of designing our full-page ad in the student newspaper and are realizing we don't have quality images. Thanks!

Mark Shuttleworth Interview for Software Freedom Day
by Judy Wilson Sept. 10, 2007

Sept. 10, 2007

Last Thursday we received a DVD from Mark Shuttleworth with a 14.5 minute interview using questions that I submitted. My husband, Jan, re-encoded it and reduced it from one gigabyte to 152 megabytes. The questions relate to how he got involved in Open Source, his experience in space, why he decided to start Ubuntu, what the word ubuntu means, and how he feels about the progress of open source and Ubuntu to date. It is now available for download at: http://www.archive.org/details/Mark_Shuttleworth_SFD It took us about 3 hours to upload the file, but your connection may be faster. We think it's an excellent interview. He starts and ends complimenting the work done on Software Freedom Day and wishes us success on this one. It is not "dated" so it will be appropriate for at least a couple of years, or to use as you see fit. It's under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike open source license. If you download it and watch it, please consider going back to that page on archive.org and writing a review. Enjoy! Judy of SFI

OLPCs for the SFD competition
by Pia Waugh Sept. 9, 2007

Sept. 9, 2007

Hi all, Only 6 days to go for most of our events!! Just a couple of last things to think about. 1) We have had a third OLPC donated for the 2007 SFD competition from the OLPC project themselves! This means there are 3 chances to win an OLPC! Check out the Competition page. The 2 best events and the best OLPC contribution or plan all win one. Entries close 30th September so you have some time to pull together your entries. http://softwarefreedomday.org/Competition2007 2) Make sure your SFD wiki pages are up to date, and try to get some posters, radio play, announcements out early this week to get more people along to your event. 3) Make sure you take loads of pictures and upload them to the gallery :) We'll be putting up a reporting tool for everyone after the event, so please fill out a basic report because it helps us demonstrate the global success of the day and gain more support for SFD. Happy SFD everyone and good luck with all your events. Thank you _all_ for helping take software freedom to the world and doing your part to create a better future! :) Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/

Using global sponsors logos
by Subir Pradhanang Sept. 8, 2007

Sept. 8, 2007

Hi all, We are trying to finalize our banners for SFD here in Nepal. We've already put our local sponsors logos in those banners, posters and flyers. My query is whether we can use the global sponsors logos in those banners and posters by distinguishing them from local sponsors. Cheers, Subir

SFD email sigs and sponsors
by Pia Waugh Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi all, we just noticed someone had Dell and Red Hat in their sig as a sponsor of their event, but it wasn't clear whether the companies were sponsoring the global event, or their event. We encourage all teams to get local sponsorship where they can as it encourages local support of FOSS and our community, but please make sure it is clear that local sponsors are supporting local events, so we can differentiate between local sponsors and global sponsors. Thanks everyone! Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/
