[SFD-discuss] Goodies

[shirish]

Hi all,
  First of all Robert, thank you for getting back so quickly so that
got resolved :)

Ok, now for the goodies. From what I saw you are sending the following :-

(three T-shirts, plus stickers, balloons, badges, FOSS CDs and some
resource CDs)

all good and all needed. What caught my eye is some resource cd's.

Could you elaborate as to how many resource cd's and what they contain?
Some of the options as I look are :-

1. Views and interviews of people like RMS, Eden Moglen and others who
validate, and/or question free software strategies and business models
so people understand not only from a moral point of view but also from
a business point of view as well.

Perhaps [rant]
2. Perhaps you could also add about "Open Content" and "Open
Standards" and "Open Access" . This would dilute the message a bit but
on the other hand, these other players are also needed, without either
and all of the above 'free software' cannot win on its own. More
friends are always welcome, I should say.

Two recent examples of "Open Content" which I like are :-

1. "Big Buck Bunny" made by blender which could also be downloaded,
but the movie itself and the production files make for 1.5 GB which
people from developing nations like myself can't get to due to
bandwidth limitations and stuff.

2. The sound samples being released by the OLPC team.

all the same :(

All and any responses to the above are appreciated :)
