It's nice to see Fedora is an official sponsor for Software Feedom Day.

I met with one of the primary organizers of SFD in FUDCon Berlin and 
agreed that Fedora should be a sponsor.

I'm glad you noticed!

Yes, it would be nice to know what the sponsorship entails Max?

I know Fedora has supplied media and promotional material for some
events where Ambassadors are present and talking about fedora.

But as where Canonical has supplied media for 200 SFD Teams worldwide,
what has Fedora/Redhat agreed to with Software Freedom International?

Yes, know the details would be great. We, at Nepal, are organizing SFD
too and we are the best event winners for last two years.

I am happy bragging about Fedora sponsoring SFD. I think will be
useful to know more.

By the way Nicaragua have been awarded best SFD event for the last tow
years too. We are pursuing to be named one of best event winner for
third time in a row. Local Fedora community is actively participating
in this event joining forces with ubuntu and debian communities.

Hope all have a good event!

Not to answer this question on behalf of Fedora and/or Red Hat, but I'm
hosting a Lindependence/SFD event in Felton, California, and we'll have F11
discs and stuff available.

To my knowledge, I believe Canonical is sending out disks to teams holding
events, but it certainly shouldn't prevent ambassadors who are participating
to offer Fedora media.

My understanding is that Canonical is the *primary* sponsor of SFD, 
which is part of a contract that they had w/ SFD for a few years (I 
think this is the last year).  That is why Canonical stuff gets sent 
automatically to various SFD activities worldwide.

Fedora agreed to be a smaller sponsor of SFD this year, mostly because 
it felt like the "right thing to do" because I know that a lot of Fedora 
contributors participate in Software Freedom Day -- I gave a speech at 
the one in Chapel Hill a few years ago.

Perhaps our sponsorship of SFD will increase dramatically in future 
years, and perhaps it will not.

This year, we simply provided a small amount of money to SFD as a way of 
lending Fedora's support to their efforts.

Software Freedom Day is a concent that is bigger than any single 
distribution, after all.

On the other hand, it seems like there have been a lot of people jumping 
up on the list in the past few weeks saying "I'm doing something for 
SFD, how do I get materials?"

That's a fair question, but it would have been helpful if those events 
were on the Events wiki page earlier, so that we could have done a 
better job planning resources for them.  Especially in Europe, we're 
pretty much out of F11 CDs, because these events weren't listed back 
when we were thinking about how many we needed to make.
