Hi all,
There have been some nice improvements on the website (and some important fixes) that I would like to share with all of you, now that Software Freedom Day is over.
1. Huion Art challenge
The submission form to enter the Huion competition seemed to be broken. I looked into it, and have it fixed. Please ask your local artists (of all ages!!) to submit their entries on this page:
2. Upload your images to the website
You can upload images to the website - so appear on the front
page slideshow (square form factor please) - or to have a gallery
on your event page.
3. We added a Spanish translation of the basic pages
There were some requests for a Spanish translation of the website. We don't have Spanish speaking board members (currently, the pages are AI translated), so feedback on language errors is welcome! (you can send me). There is still an issue with the landing page, but still researching it (couldn't solve it yet though) https://digitalfreedoms.org/es/sfd/blog
Do you want the site in another language? If you volunteer to help proof-reading, we can set up other translations. Reach out to me personally.
4. Small events...
I heard a few people say something like: "Yeah, we organized Software Freedom Day too... but it was only a small event. I didn't want to put it on the map." If you did... please put it on the map! Currently, it's important to have a map showing a lot of events, and basically SFD is about reaching local people. So even if you only celebrated the event with 3 other people... it still counts as SFD for me.
5. Sponsorship
In the next month, we'll be reaching out to companies who might be open to support Software Freedom Day and help pay for swag. Do you know people in companies that might be interested in supporting our cause? Please get in touch with me so you can connect me with this/these person(s). (for US based companies, donations can be tax deductible (503(c)1).
Greetings,
Jurgen
