Sorry about the cross posting. -----Forwarded Message----- From: Dwayne Bailey <dw...@tr...> To: Translate Development <tra...@li...> Subject: [Translate-devel] Software Freedom day expo Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2004 13:14:30 +0200 Software Freedom day is running on 28 August. In Gauteng there is an install fest at The DiData campus in Bryanston hosted by SITA. Translate.org.za will have a stand at the expo and I will be talking at the breakfast. I hope to have three computers running OpenOffice.org in Afrikaans, Zulu and Northern Sotho. I am looking for people who can help staff the stand. I can offer you a nice T-Shirt and lunch for your effort. Plus a load of fun and an opportunity to meet some of you for the first time. Sorry to the Brazilian, Cambodian, etc participants :) Please email me if you can help and if you can give an idea of times. I'm not 100% sure what the starting time is but it looks like 11h30 till ??? -- Kind regards Dwayne Bailey dw...@tr... +27-12-343 0389 (home/work) +27-83-443 7114 (cell) "It would be a profound irony if an earnest attempt to bridge the digital divide unravelled because of prohibitive software license costs. Even with educational discounts and so forth, the proprietary model does not offer the unfettered choice to participate in the development or modification of the very technology that can only increasingly become an intimate part of any developing society as it ventures into a digital future." - Dr Sibusiso Sibisi, President CSIR, South Africa Translate.org.za - Opensource software for all South Africans A project of the Zuza Software Foundation |
