181 Aug 07 22:47:39 <JZA> is good that we have a fully localized site now, so they could get organized from it. I would try to also contact high noticeable bloggers to repulish the SDF annoucements.
182 Aug 07 22:47:51 <verow> because of Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre + AFUL
183 Aug 07 22:48:07 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: yes I guess bloggers is good to. we have lots of badges for them to put on their site

188 Aug 07 22:49:29 <BLUG_Fred> verow: FOo?
189 Aug 07 22:49:34 <BLUG_Fred> FreeOffice.org?
190 Aug 07 22:49:45 <BLUG_Fred> FastOpera.org?
191 Aug 07 22:50:11 <verow> Formats Ouverts (open standards)
192 Aug 07 22:50:21 <BLUG_Fred> j'allais dire FionOuv...

194 Aug 07 22:50:30 <BLUG_Fred> ok..
195 Aug 07 22:50:46 <verow> http://formats-ouverts.org/
196 Aug 07 22:50:49 <BLUG_Fred> je connais à peine Tristan on s'est rencontré y a quelques années

205 Aug 07 22:53:49 <verow> blond, intelligent et en couple ;-P
206 Aug 07 22:54:13 <BLUG_Fred> ok. well we have a start I believe. I think I'll make a summary with the map and ask marketing list to help to do the same in their own territories or nearby ones
207 Aug 07 22:54:23 <BLUG_Fred> it's important to keep the momentum
208 Aug 07 22:54:28 <JZA> verow: are you doing this ust in france or are there communities that you could do outreach in africa or haiti
209 Aug 07 22:54:34 <BLUG_Fred> we're around 260 events at the moment
210 Aug 07 22:55:01 <JZA> verow: I know Waveplace organization which do a lot of OLPC work in Haiti they could be interested on running a software freedom day. But will need to check if they will be around those dates.
211 Aug 07 22:55:06 <BLUG_Fred> Africa doesn't seem very well connected in both people and technology
212 Aug 07 22:55:07 <verow> I can try to make the announcement go though all over the World
213 Aug 07 22:55:27 <BLUG_Fred> wow.. all over the world!

217 Aug 07 22:55:43 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: well I am an optimist on 6 degree of separation so someone somewhere knows people anywhere. :D
218 Aug 07 22:55:57 <verow> and I have to write a letter to Worldwide Lugs
219 Aug 07 22:56:30 <verow> so, in my letter, I can include the "sfd announcement"
220 Aug 07 22:56:39 <BLUG_Fred> for User Groups is a great opportunity to do something out of the ordinary and meet new people (=keep the flow of new members coming)
221 Aug 07 22:56:49 <verow> I 'am also Aful representative at RMLL Committee
222 Aug 07 22:56:49 <BLUG_Fred> (and find something fresh for the old ones)

243 Aug 07 23:05:46 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: is there like a permalink for pins? so I can point you to the one with the issue?
244 Aug 07 23:05:47 <verow> yep it makes a lot of people
245 Aug 07 23:05:52 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: yeah.. every year we have a few clicks which are off

259 Aug 07 23:11:38 <BLUG_Fred> verow: okkkk
260 Aug 07 23:13:33 <BLUG_Fred> well i think we're done for today. I'll try to sum up the whole thing and upload the log
261 Aug 07 23:13:38 <BLUG_Fred> thanks a lot for showing up
262 Aug 07 23:13:44 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: sent
263 Aug 07 23:13:51 <BLUG_Fred> i'll return to my other things as well..
264 Aug 07 23:14:15 <verow> cool
265 Aug 07 23:14:21 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: so I wonder if we will have virtual channels
266 Aug 07 23:15:01 <BLUG_Fred> ah.. so it's not over
267 Aug 07 23:15:01 <JZA> FLISOL hosted different events in second life, IRC, and other locations. Last year I did a virtual one from a virtual conference platform.
268 Aug 07 23:15:28 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: team leaders decide. SFI will not engage in manning virtual channels
269 Aug 07 23:15:35 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: too bad
270 Aug 07 23:15:58 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: i really think people need to get out once in a while and work on their social skills
271 Aug 07 23:16:25 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: but I think you did a 2nd life event last year no?
272 Aug 07 23:16:47 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: no mine was different
273 Aug 07 23:17:08 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: we had speakers from all over the country and aligned to do their talks from a virtual conference platform
274 Aug 07 23:17:20 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: i mean SFD.
275 Aug 07 23:17:31 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: i thought you did.. my wrong
276 Aug 07 23:17:46 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: so we had a talk on OpenDocuments, Blender, and FLOSS with ONGs
277 Aug 07 23:18:03 <JZA> and from Mozilla Mexico and the talks where stremed from the platform
278 Aug 07 23:18:25 <BLUG_Fred> i see..
279 Aug 07 23:18:29 <JZA> we did had around 80 people joining in
280 Aug 07 23:18:31 <verow> JAZ I believe you take the "A" for virtual channels ?
281 Aug 07 23:19:02 <verow> as I have no time at all for that
282 Aug 07 23:19:36 <verow> I'am concentrated on physical meetings (I already have 8 events a months with Linux Azur)
283 Aug 07 23:19:47 <BLUG_Fred> same, i'll be busy with an event with 'real' people
284 Aug 07 23:20:19 <JZA> verow: right but I am not trying to get you to organize them. I just want them to be somewhat listed, and for people that cant attend to a regional one, they should consider this alternative.
285 Aug 07 23:20:20 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: so we don't forbid virtual events at all, it's just not what we focus on
286 Aug 07 23:20:41 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: how would you list them?
287 Aug 07 23:20:46 <verow> ok JZA :-)
288 Aug 07 23:21:07 <BLUG_Fred> and they won't show up on the map easily ;-)
289 Aug 07 23:21:21 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: asking if anyone is doing such and list it on the annoucements and such. or at least providing a newflash if anyone is doing such work who to contact for exposure.
290 Aug 07 23:21:27 <BLUG_Fred> or we should have an internet map.. yeah!
291 Aug 07 23:21:44 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: exactly why it would need to be somewhere else in the site beside the map.
292 Aug 07 23:21:49 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: here is my problem: everyone is going to go to FB and think that's cool.
293 Aug 07 23:21:55 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: here is what we did in FLISOL for example
294 Aug 07 23:22:09 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: less than an hour ago i already received a dead blog to post on the planet and a link to an active FB page.
295 Aug 07 23:22:16 <BLUG_Fred> i don't think that's what we should promote
296 Aug 07 23:22:16 <JZA> http://www.installfest.net/FLISOL2011/Mexico/
297 Aug 07 23:22:22 <BLUG_Fred> people want to do it fine
298 Aug 07 23:22:29 <BLUG_Fred> but we don't promote it
299 Aug 07 23:22:54 <BLUG_Fred> they can just get out or their basement meet with 4 friends and go to their village pub to talk to other drunkards there.
300 Aug 07 23:22:54 <JZA> Go to ciudades participantes, and you will see a badge for Virtual Flisol
301 Aug 07 23:22:59 <JZA> and a page within the wiki.
302 Aug 07 23:23:02 <BLUG_Fred> that's still better than doing a FB event
303 Aug 07 23:23:13 <JZA> granted is in spanish but u wont be lost ;)
304 Aug 07 23:23:36 * BLUG_Fred checking
305 Aug 07 23:24:37 <JZA> Medios de transmision list the different channels for the meeting, as well as a streaming server
306 Aug 07 23:24:47 <BLUG_Fred> i clicked on the Celaya one
307 Aug 07 23:25:00 <BLUG_Fred> actually it's just advertising streaming links?
308 Aug 07 23:25:02 <JZA> no it was on the image
309 Aug 07 23:25:04 <JZA> http://installfest.info/FLISOL2011/flisolvirtual
310 Aug 07 23:25:22 <JZA> there where cameraman in 2nd life, streaming from within the virutal event :)
311 Aug 07 23:25:54 <JZA> actually it was more like spycams
312 Aug 07 23:26:31 <JZA> but you had a registration list and all, I think it was nicely organized
313 Aug 07 23:26:46 <JZA> I didnt participate since I was on my own event, but I think it went well
314 Aug 07 23:26:49 <BLUG_Fred> well i can t organize it
315 Aug 07 23:27:13 <BLUG_Fred> and i'm having a hard time to understand how it worked.
316 Aug 07 23:27:55 <BLUG_Fred> though I wouldn't want people to meet on a non-free platform to celebrate Software freedom.. i find it to be a paradox
317 Aug 07 23:28:08 <BLUG_Fred> i know the argumentation both ways
318 Aug 07 23:28:46 <BLUG_Fred> let's say I'm the wrong person to talk about that
319 Aug 07 23:29:05 <BLUG_Fred> maybe some people from the marketing list are willing to jump in though, I wouldn't discard them
320 Aug 07 23:29:30 <JZA> well might be the dot in the scheme, IRC and icecast are both open source and they had channels there too
321 Aug 07 23:29:51 <JZA> is like saying distribution of ubuntu should be ilegal since it has proprietary drivers and flash and other non open technology
322 Aug 07 23:30:10 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: illegal is the wrong term
323 Aug 07 23:30:19 <JZA> well not encourage
324 Aug 07 23:30:45 <JZA> either way there are 2nd life is just one channel not the only one.
325 Aug 07 23:30:49 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: in fact it's a good point, this year we're finally asking team leaders to add a notice with CDs of non-free distro that they distribute
326 Aug 07 23:31:25 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: and yes it's not because you use Linux that using non-free software is suddenly ok or great
327 Aug 07 23:31:37 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: the problem remains the same. we're promoting Software Freedom
328 Aug 07 23:31:58 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: i won't ask anyone to run non-free software
329 Aug 07 23:32:01 <JZA> as I said, 2nd life is only another channel, not the ONLY channel
330 Aug 07 23:32:12 <JZA> IRC and OGV transmissions where also part of the event.
331 Aug 07 23:32:24 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: well as I said find someone into virtual channels
332 Aug 07 23:32:31 <JZA> ok
333 Aug 07 23:32:50 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: we're 3.5 people here and no one is interested (or has the resources, time and motivation to do it)
334 Aug 07 23:32:51 <JZA> I'll ask these guys if they are planning one for SFD
335 Aug 07 23:32:54 <JZA> will let you know
336 Aug 07 23:33:17 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: if you care so much about it, you should somewhat lead or find someone into it.
337 Aug 07 23:33:23 <BLUG_Fred> I hope you understand what I am saying
338 Aug 07 23:33:33 <BLUG_Fred> it's not a no at all.
339 Aug 07 23:33:42 <BLUG_Fred> it's just not what I can do.
340 Aug 07 23:33:58 <verow> it's just a "warning"
341 Aug 07 23:34:04 <BLUG_Fred> and for doing a lot of IRC meetings, I think there is really very little value to have a SFD event on IRC
342 Aug 07 23:34:10 <BLUG_Fred> but that's me
343 Aug 07 23:34:17 <verow> +1
344 Aug 07 23:34:22 <BLUG_Fred> so if someone think SFD on IRC is great.. well we have a channel
345 Aug 07 23:36:21 <JZA> So I guess I can send you any update and trust that you will publish it on the main site right?
346 Aug 07 23:37:06 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: publish as in ?
347 Aug 07 23:37:21 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: we have a lot of things to publish that we don't and we should
348 Aug 07 23:37:47 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: so news publish is on priority/interest/focus basis
349 Aug 07 23:37:59 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: don't mix your own interest and SFD focus please
350 Aug 07 23:38:19 <BLUG_Fred> but there are a lot of channel to create a build up
351 Aug 07 23:38:43 <BLUG_Fred> and if there is a lot of positive feedback and it's within FOSS usage/promotion sure
352 Aug 07 23:40:09 <BLUG_Fred> why would we publish one event (even virtual) versus another one in a big metropolis for example?
353 Aug 07 23:40:19 <BLUG_Fred> it has to make sense
354 Aug 07 23:41:31 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: cuz the attendee from a big metropolis is limited to a metropolis
355 Aug 07 23:41:53 <BLUG_Fred> attendees to a virtual event are limited to people online
356 Aug 07 23:41:54 <BLUG_Fred> geeks
357 Aug 07 23:42:08 <JZA> BLUG_Fred: not all online people are geeks
358 Aug 07 23:42:10 <BLUG_Fred> who usually already have a strong opinion about what software to use
359 Aug 07 23:42:16 <BLUG_Fred> of course not
360 Aug 07 23:42:19 <JZA> and not all geeks are free software people
361 Aug 07 23:42:42 <JZA> at least not yet ;)
362 Aug 07 23:42:52 <BLUG_Fred> of course not
363 Aug 07 23:42:56 <verow> arround me, people who use IRC are all geeks
364 Aug 07 23:43:03 <verow> other do not know irc
365 Aug 07 23:43:04 <BLUG_Fred> but usually they don't change like this
366 Aug 07 23:43:40 <JZA> gamers might be a good target market for example, and most run windows cuz their games play only there.
367 Aug 07 23:44:02 <BLUG_Fred> yes.. and so when games run on Linux we can talk again
368 Aug 07 23:44:02 <JZA> but that doesnt mean that they cant learn about floss software for windows
369 Aug 07 23:44:08 <BLUG_Fred> sure
370 Aug 07 23:44:21 <BLUG_Fred> well.. it's something you care about and should probably explore
371 Aug 07 23:45:15 <BLUG_Fred> SFD is about going out and meeting people you usually don't meet and don't know about free software
372 Aug 07 23:45:27 <BLUG_Fred> you can interpret the 'going out' the way you want
373 Aug 07 23:45:36 <JZA> meeting != fleshmeet
374 Aug 07 23:45:53 <verow> for the notes, I suggest we agree with JZA takes care of irc event ?
375 Aug 07 23:46:03 <verow> and have next topic?
376 Aug 07 23:46:11 <BLUG_Fred> mike is supposed to write articles on people preparing for events. maybe that's somewhere you could advertise assuming you are taking care of one
377 Aug 07 23:46:23 <BLUG_Fred> well we were in open discussion
378 Aug 07 23:46:24 <BLUG_Fred> so no
379 Aug 07 23:51:03 <BLUG_Fred> well no more topic
380 Aug 07 23:51:11 <BLUG_Fred> meeting was over a while ago already
381 Aug 07 23:51:19 <BLUG_Fred> but free discussion is always good
382 Aug 07 23:51:59 <verow> yep
383 Aug 07 23:52:23 <BLUG_Fred> note that with 48 hours a day I could probably do a lot more
384 Aug 07 23:53:48 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: got your email with the new location
385 Aug 07 23:54:06 <BLUG_Fred> loading slowly.. but i update text files so ;-)
386 Aug 07 23:54:16 <BLUG_Fred> i'll just take the coordinates from the file
387 Aug 07 23:56:12 <JZA> ok
388 Aug 08 00:03:30 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: oh yes I think I saw that team. the marker was in the middle of the mountains no?
389 Aug 08 00:03:36 <BLUG_Fred> i was thinking to email them
390 Aug 08 00:05:00 <BLUG_Fred> JZA: done
391 Aug 08 00:05:19 <BLUG_Fred> you'll need (well he also) point your browser to http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/2011coords.txt to force refresh the cache
392 Aug 08 00:05:26 <BLUG_Fred> and the back to the map
393 Aug 08 00:05:36 <BLUG_Fred> or wait until there is a new registration ;-)
394 Aug 08 00:05:47 <BLUG_Fred> every year we have markers way off
395 Aug 08 00:06:01 <BLUG_Fred> sometimes in the middle of an ocean, or even outside of the map (it happened)
396 Aug 08 00:06:18 <BLUG_Fred> I set some control this year, so we don't take markers way off limit
397 Aug 08 00:06:19 <BLUG_Fred> still..
398 Aug 08 00:06:34 <BLUG_Fred> the guys from Shenzhen put their marker in Shanghai this year
399 Aug 08 00:06:50 <BLUG_Fred> i emailed them.. the guy said he was confused.. he clicked somewhere else by mistake
400 Aug 08 00:12:41 <JZA> ok
401 Aug 08 00:12:46 <JZA> I'll let him know
