Re: Software freedom day
Hi, Reinout van Schouwen a écrit : As a side note, we are planning to have our own localized Live CD's and promotional materials printed, but we're having trouble funding it all. Is there some place we might ask for assistance? The foundation board's a good start - [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should have a decent list of what you want to do, why, and how much it'll cost. Nothing particularly over-burdening, something like "Event attendance expected: 500. Costs: Printing 500 liveCDs - €600. Printing 50 A2 glossy posters - €120. We expect to recuperate some costs by asking for donations to go towards the cost of the CDs and posters, but we think we're going to lose €200 overall." You should act quickly though - the board tends to take a few weeks to actually get to cutting a cheque on these things (if at all).

Re: Software freedom day
Hi, We're a little late on the get-go, but I think we should do something for Software Freedom Day - http://softwarefreedomday.org/ - September 10th this year. FWIW, some Dutch and Belgian GNOME volunteers will be present at a local SFD event in Tilburg, The Netherlands. As a side note, we are planning to have our own localized Live CD's and promotional materials printed, but we're having trouble funding it all. Is there some place we might ask for assistance? regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen *** student of Artifical Intelligence email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]*** mobile phone: +31-6-44360778 www.vanschouwen.info *** help mee met GNOME vertalen: nl.gnome.org ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Hi, Jeff Waugh a écrit : Don't know why it didn't occur to me to pimp this to GNOME, we've been doing lots of stuff about it in Australia and Ubuntu-land. I just noticed :) Andreas, got any thoughts on an SFD-inspired image for gnome.org? (I just got a sudden flash of "New GNOME. New World Order." but I don't think that's very SFD compatible.) http://www.cafepress.com/sfdstore has soem t-shirt designs which appear re-usable. I like the "Got freedom?" tagline with the mountains. Just another data point for people doing stuff for the day.

Software freedom day
Hi, We're a little late on the get-go, but I think we should do something for Software Freedom Day - http://softwarefreedomday.org/ - September 10th this year. Perhaps GNOME user groups could hold an event for the day? Even if it's only a small demo in a local university? The OpenCD (which ships a GNOME desktop via Ubuntu, and lots of GNOME/GTK+ applications for Windows) is involved, as are Canonical. There is the possibility to receive LiveCDs and some advertising materials for free http://softwarefreedomday.org/index.php?option=com_mosforms&mosform=2&Itemid=62 The deadline's passed now, but you never know - if you're close enough to a distribution center you may still be able to get some stuff. If you're a young Go-Getter, we now have a range of GNOME posters available for printing, and on September 10th, you should be able to burn off some hot-off-the-presses GNOME 2.12 LiveCDs.
