Thanks for replies.
Let's keep the discussion on how to organize SFD2021 aside for now. First we need to figure out who are on board. How the official accounts and channels like website are handled. Then, we can plan for this year event.

Hey!
Nice message and overall I agree. Though I remember last year, when we offered you to take care of the social media account suddenly you went very quiet...
DFF definitely wants to promoted Free Software. Now hundred of thousands of people are dying due to a pandemic and we have problems telling people to meet up under the current circumstances. And while we understands different countries have managed the issue differently we just cannot give any "let's meet" recommendation.
Now if you have a real plan on how to manage this whole situation, please let us know because REALLY we would be very happy to have a message to give regardless of where people live.
Thank you.

FOSS.lk was held fine SFD events last couple of years with Mozilla.lk and hope to do as a webinar this year as well.
From the DFF perspective what sort of details should be put into the planning phase ? if you can share a previous year planning document to refer , we might be able to start something for this year as well with considering current pandemic situation .
Thank you. Ruwan.

I am hoping this email is reaching to you properly. First I am sorry If I am using mailing list in a bad way. I am not used to it. Please share some good tutorial on this issue. I need to learn it properly. :D Now lets go on topic.
I remember last year, when we offered you to take care of the social media account suddenly you went very quiet...
I am sorry for that. I don't remember it now. But even now, I would refuse for that face our issue is not who to handle social media. I think we need to discuss why SFD and how. We need to make some policy or plan or guideline. Then comes social media, website, etc. One friend mentioned Open Source. I strongly believe SFD is the day we need to talk about Software Freedom. This is kind of prohibited concept to be discussed in Open Source world. Let's keep out focus on Software Freedom and inform people about the importance of it. Rest would be handled in one way or another. Regarding Covid, I think we had this discussion last year as well. Sure I am not advocating to have physical gathering. That is up to people. Last year, we had a small online gathering in Iran and I myself managed to have a physical gathering in Kabul, Afghanistan (which was safe at that time to do so). I know some other people also had online gathering. Sure online meeting cannot be the same as physical one, but it has it own pros and cons. So Lets embrace it and see how we can make best use of it. I don't suggest we tell people what to do. SFD should be community based program. At best, we can help with propagation, networking and (perhaps most important) provide some suggestions on how to have SFD 2021. SFD website has some kind of such material on it already, but those suggestions are not helpful now. We need to make some new ones.This is what we need to discuss. I would suggest having some attempt to talk to some of FLOSS organizations to provide some resources (like BBB) for SFD related programs (during september). That can be provided to those who already registered their program on SFD website so we can verify that they are going to hold SFD related programs. I am sure we can manage that. Even with limitted resources, we can make some schedule for registered programs so that those resources can be distributed among all without putting pressure on server. These are my rough ideas. And finally, we need to have some way to update site. website is outdated. it is still talking about SFD 2020! and one question: What about DFD and HFD 2021? Are there same people (not) working on those? ;) Any possibility to work on those as well? Regards, Mostafa Ahagnarha
