2011 is bringing a lot of changes in SFD and the way we do things. One of the most significant change has been that we are starting to rely on the community at large to get things done (rather than let the SFI board handle all the details). This has resulted in a brand new logo designed by Jeff Lim and his associated company, Maxus Media Singapore. We usually don't plug in companies for which we work for community work, but Maxus Media happens to be a design company, Jeff a professional in his field and you can feel it in this new logo. At SFI Board we are very excited to have a logo clearly identifying Software Freedom Day and making us stand out while keeping our existing design specificities (the sun and the hill). For more background information on the logo itself and how we got there the marketing mailing list thread is a good read. Should you want to download the logo source files our wiki is the place to get them. Jeff and Maxus Media have been kind enough to agree to a free software license with attribution (CC-BY) to SFD so just feel free to share, adapt it to your needs and use it!

As a side note the 2011 wiki is ready to let you create your team page. This year we won't use any continent category and would like to ask everyone to create a dedicated team page under the city the event is happening at, in order to let potential other teams have a link on the city page. Should you have any problem with the wiki page creation you can either email the SFD discuss mailing list or ping us on our IRC channel (#sfd on Freenode.net). Official registration with a marker on our now famous map and the option to get free goodies will open shortly. Stay tuned!
