I think the certificate should have the following things:-

1) A basic written template....saying that , this certificate certifies that the person with name ______, has helped promote SFD held at ________, as a volunteer/organizing team member/attendee.....held on _________.

the above blanks can be filled in by the organizers/volunteers by hand

Only organizers should be allowed access to this, else they can be misused by unscrupulous people ....maybe email each organizing team the template?

Also, we need to decide this fast....as we are celebrating SFD on 10th September(Day after Tomorrow)...so we need to print the certificates by tomorrow evening!

We believe the best way is for organizers themselves to endorse the quality of the volunteers as SFI doesn't know how they perform and whether they contributed. Since you need it urgently I made a template just now :-), you can access it on http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources/VolunteerCertificate You will also find a SVG file for localization or modification purpose on top of PNG for printing. Please feel free to add your team logos and team names inside the template.

We included a black for team leaders to put their contact details, just in case those read the cert wants to contact the presenter of this certificate to see if the person really contributed. Hope it helps.

All the best to your SFD event! Do document and blog as well as tag about it!

Hey fellow sfders!

We were thinking of providing our SFD volunteers and SFD Organizers with some certificates as a proof that they helped in organizing and volunteered for our SFD 2011 :)

Trust me, certificates are really valued by people here in India...

So, is there any way that SFI can sign/endorse the certificates which we will provide as a hard copy to our SFD organizers and Volunteers to be authentic?

has any one else given out certificates for a SFD before?
