[SFD-discuss] Only one week left to register for a SFD team pack

[lugbamenda at immerda.ch]

hi all,

i was in cameroon and i am now back in switzerland. with friends we have 
create linux users groups in bamenda, limbe and yaounde. these groups 
want to participate, but they cannot register. they ask me to register. 
i made a registration for CameroonBamenda 
http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/CameroonBamenda

i just want to point out, that it is difficult for people in africa to 
participate especially they must go to internet cafe to make the 
contact, it is expensive and sometimes the connection so bad, that we 
work one hour for nothing, because the connection is lost or there is no 
electricity.

the group in bamenda participate last year
http://www.njahbisoli.org/lugb/free_software_day1.html
and will try to do it this year too.

the group in limbe is still struggling to make the registration
