First of all we would like to send everyone our best wishes for 2011 and a lot of victories on the software freedom fronts. A new year is starting and we will slowly but surely get up to speed with the SFD 2011 preparations. This year SFD is happening on Saturday 17th September and hopefully we'll avoid the mistakes of last year. In no specific order we would also like to update everyone on a few topics so check the unordered list below:

• SFD Best Event competition 2009: we are purchasing and producing the prizes, except some news next month
• SFD Best Event competition 2010: we are still rating the submissions and targeting an announcement at the end of the month
• SFD Team Leaders Survey: the survey will stop at the end of this week and we will publish gather data within 10 days
• 2011 SFI board: SFI board has been reduced to 5 directors and the running of our operations will gradually shift within the community. The board will continue to handle sponsorship and legal matters, as well as strategic directions
• Marketing committee activities: quite some discussions and we have started to work on site localization with a Spanish and Portuguese planet. There is still some work left (like finding out how to translate dates in TMPL scripts and finishing the Spanish version).

2011 will also see a new SFD logo (still working on font licenses) and the sharing of some ideas which we hope will benefit all teams. So keep reading our blog and find out more very soon!
