Not just email, 3d email!

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Now I’ve seen everything, this is so weird I just can’t even begin to explain.

Your email pulses with fun and excitement like never before!…

We let you literally feed your spam to the sharks, and that is very gratifying. You get the feeling that, for once, you’re getting back at the spammers.

Heh, these things are usually really dumb, but I enjoyed this one :)

Software Freedom Day 2007 - 83 teams registered!

Monday, June 18th, 2007

It is almost 3 months away from Software Freedom Day 2007, and we already have 83 teams registered! This year a lot of work went into the new registration system to make it easier for teams and for everyone else to find information, see all the teams, and get a feeling for what a truly global and participatory event this is. Check out which continents all the teams are from, it is fairly evenly balanced. As usual, Australia is doing well with 10 teams already registered!

Teams that want special SFD goodies including CDs, shirts, stickers and balloons need to be registered by the 31st July, so get in soon and register your team. Last year we had about 200 teams all up (including all the ones that registered after the free goodies date had passed), so we hope to have 300 teams this year!

The new Software Freedom International Board which includes 3 top SFD team leaders from 2006 is totally awesome, being extremely active, enthusiastic and full of new ideas.

Rock on and remember, freedom isn’t just for geeks, so let’s all get out there and help spread the important ideas of software freedom. I’ve got a short “About Software Freedom” page for anyone interested.

The New Zealand Open Source Awards!

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Don Christie of Catalyst in New Zealand has asked me to be on the panel of judges for the New Zealand Open Source Awards, which is pretty exciting!

This looks like a great initiative, and certainly something we should look at doing here too. Jeff has already made the suggestion, so lets make it happen!

Rock on New Zealand!
