Hi and thanks! Well goodies are on the way. I was informed that some teams are starting to receive their packs so it shouldn't be too far away for you neither. It's nice to see that you have a TV channel as a sponsor: would you mind sharing how you managed to achieve this with other teams? I'm sure a lot of us could learn from you on this one! Regarding the countdown I have a few comments: Mexico is on UTC-5 so you should replace the current code by this one: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC-5-en.png" border="0" width="190" height="200" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a> (see how the image link points to banner1-**UTC-5**-en.png now, this way the banner will change at midnight in your timezone). I noticed you are resizing the banner so in your case it should be: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC-5-en.png" border="0" width="100" height="110" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a> And last, if you want to have a Spanish version you can translate the attached 3 SVG files into Spanish and I'll create the png for you (and give you an updated link). You will need Inkscape to do that. Thank you and happy preparations! Fred On 08/16/2011 01:11 AM, jacobnix wrote:

Dear all,
We've finally put up a countdown banner (190x200) to SFD. Currently only in English but we have the abilities to translate it as well.
Since the event is global we have made one banner per existing time zone on planet Earth (we're thinking bigger for next year and maybe Mars and Neptune support...).
So for example if you're using the current English banner and are located in the UK, you'll be at UTC+1 . The banner direct link for you will therefore be: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png
and the code to include in your site: <a href="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC+1-en.png" border="0" width="190" height="200" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 17!"></a>
List of supported timezones is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset
Full documentation and source files can be found here: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown
Should people want to help localize there are already Portuguese and German on the way, you can probably help finish those 2.
Any question please let us know.
We'll let the weekend pass, see what other languages we get done and then official announce the counter, with a nicely design page to integrate in the www website.
Should you want to use a totally different design, we'll need to modify the script as there is a language symmetry in the current script which will need to be changed.
Any question, please ask!
Thanks and happy SFD preparations!
Fred
