Hi everyone,

Here's a Great News to all the Nepali FOSSians!! FOSS Nepal Community
has been declared one of the winners of the competition for the best
SFD 2008 event for the second consecutive year. Congratulations!! I am
forwarding a mail from the SFD mailing list below. You can also find
more about it on the SFD page:

http://softwarefreedomday.org/Competition2008

Although my name appears on the announcement, I strongly feel that
Bibek Paudel deserves all the praise for leading it all the way. And a
lot of thanks goes to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make
the event a grand success and not to forget the day's participants!

FYI, here's the list of SFD 2008 volunteers:

Dear SFD'ers,

Following a highly successful SFD 2008 - with 50% more teams
registered than in 2007 - we are pleased to announce the winners of
the competition for the best event:

FOSS Nepal Community (team leader Subir Pradhanang) - team report PDF 7.4MB
SFD Nicaragua (team leader Leandro Gomez) - team report 1.6MB
DabaweGNU (team leader Holden Hao) - team report

Congratulations to these teams, and many thanks to Subir, Leandro and
Holden for leading their events and telling the world about their how
it went!

Each winning team will be receiving a prize of a pair of OLPC laptops.

The winning entries were selected for the scope of their SFD
activities, the number of people reached (particularly from the wider,
non-technical community) and the quality of the reporting. However we
received many high quality entries - a total of almost fifty
submissions - and special mention also goes to:

Guyana (team leader Vidyaratha Kissoon) - team report
Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society (Dev Anand Teelucksingh) - team report
freeIT (team leader Mylene Sereno) - team report

Thank you to all teams (over 500 teams in almost 90 countries) for
their efforts in making SFD 2008 such a great success, and don't
forget to put Saturday 19 Septermber 2009 in your calendars! To make
sure you don't miss out on registration, make sure that you are
subscribed to the SFD-announce mailing list.

Robert Schumann
Vice President, Software Freedom International

Wow!!! It is really fabulous news.

We have managed to win back to back.

Guys, lets develop a strategy for a hetrick.  :)

Subir dai, please confirm the party date. And, by the way, I have already made myself free for Dec. 9 as of now.

And kudos to Bibek for making such a nice report.

Kudos to Bibek for his herculean effort. And congratulation to all. What we need now is hattrick and some recognition for this. But anyway, great to win 2 in a row.

सर्बप्रथमत  हामी सबैलाई बधाई छ । बिबेक र शंकर दाई अस्ती कार्यक्रम को लागि पत्रकार बोलाँउदा हामीले गत बर्ष हामी विश्वमा तेस्रो भएको भनेका थियौ तर आज त अब हामी गर्बका साथ प्रथम भएको कुरा भन्न सक्छौ । मलाई लाग्छ मिडियामा राम्रो coverage को निम्ती यो नै स्वर्णिम अवसर हो । तसर्थ अब हामीले एक पल्ट बसेर मिडिया को लागि राम्रो press release तयार गर्नु पर्छ र छिट्टै नै सबै मिडिया मा यो खबर पुर्‍याउनु पर्छ ।यस्को लागि कसरी अघी बढ्ने हो छलफल गरौ ल ।

ज्ञानेश्वर,

गत वर्ष पनि हामी प्रथम नै भएको हो नि।
कुरो के हो भने, प्रत्येक वर्ष Top 3 Best Event घोषणा हुन्छ, पोहोर पनि त्यहि Top 3 मध्ये एक हो, अनि अहिले पनि Top 3 मध्ये एक।
त्यो Top 3 मा पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो भनेर छुट्याएको चाहिँ हुन्न।

नबुझेका सबैलाई चेतना भया।

अनि फेरि एकपटक सबै स्वयंसेवक साथीहरूलाई बधाई!

Gyaneshwor, all the three teams are winners. By the way, we will need
your help as well as others help in disseminating this information to
the media, for which we have to prepare a good press release.
