This is the place where one uploads each image for the counter. If you want to provide a new design please do not overwrite the existing files. Instead get in touch with us as we will have to modify the script (there is a symmetry with other languages which will have to be broken).

For those looking at making your own language countdown, pay attention to file names and size (as in horizontal/vertical pixel count).

 1. Download [[attachment:CountDown/en/countdown_source2021.svg|source files]] or create your own based on it. We've used [[http://openfontlibrary.org/font/vds|VDS Fonts]] and [[http://openfontlibrary.org/font/averia/|Averia fonts]] on top of the [[Logo|SFD specific logo fonts]]. For Chinese we're using the [[https://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/chinese-fonts-truetype/gbsn00lp.ttf.gz|AR PL Sungtil GB]] and [[https://www.google.com/get/noto/#sans-hans|Noto Sans CJK SC]].
 1. If you're translating while there are still more than 99 days left:
  . Generate 99 'days' +3 banners: max date left down to 01 countdown, a 'get ready for', a 'today' one and a 'see you next year' one
 1. If you're translating and the coundtown has already started:
  . Generate as many days left +2 banners: max date left down to 01 countdown, a 'today' one and a 'see you next year' one
 1. Create a <insert you language code here> sub-page, if it doesn't exist yet and upload all your png images (and translated source files eventually, tar.gz or zipped). Just overwrite the old files and keep the source file of previous years (add the year in the file name)
 1. Email the sfd-discuss@ or localization@ mailing list letting us know, so we can add one language to the script

Check the [[CountDown/en|English sub-page]] to verify what is exactly needed, files names and correct size (160x90).

Since we are a global celebration it was important to support the various time zones [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset|spreading from UTC-12 to UTC+14]] and various languages. Now we have a strong base done for a few languages but we can only add more.

So for someone wanting to add the English version of the countdown and living at UTC-4 (EDT) the link to the banner will be:

{{{
<a href="https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/"><img src="https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/countdown/banner1-UTC-4-en.png" border="0" width="160" height="90" alt="Celebrate SFD with us on September 18, 2021!"></a>
}}}
The code that we are using is [[CountDown/code|available here]].

Thank you. 

Any question please post on the sfd-discuss mailing list.
