Oi Klaibson, veja a mensagem do Fred sobre esse assunto. Ele não vê
problema em mudar a data aqui, e perguntou se temos alguma ideia de
ajustar as datas no futuro.


Thanks for raising the issue. We unfortunately don't have a ready made
answer to that problem but we can provide a few hints for this year and
see how we can pick a better date for the celebration next year:
- as with all the event the final date for YOUR event is really YOUR
choice and what works for you. This year we're having a team celebrating
SFD on November 30th, because that's what worked for them... Hopefully
you can find a good date for yourself.
- for the upcoming years we have 4 celebrations (CFD, EFD, HFD and SFD).
Logically it would be one every quarter and we'd be fine but... SFD is
on September and somehow now going to change (more on this later).
December seems a difficult month to do things because of the nearby
Christmas celebration, so next available month seemed to be January (we
have Chinese New Year in the way, but living in China we can deal with
that when it happens). July and August and usually summer holidays for
the northern hemisphere (maybe August more) keeping those 2 months off
the celebration calendar. So in fact it would seem like CFD, EFD and HFD
need to be organized between January and June. June is not good for
neither CFD nor EFD: there is a (Mainly French but it's spreading and
it's old) "Music celebration" is June and we wouldn't want CFD to be
celebrated at the same date as it'd bring confusion between Music (Free
or not) and Free Culture, dissolving the focus.

March is also a tricky month because of DFD and, as we've found out
after deciding for EFD, the Open Education Week
(http://www.openeducationweek.org/ ). Having something somewhat less
related like HFD during the same rough time is however acceptable. Of
course we could maybe do HFD, CFD and then EFD. I wonder how EFD would
fare in May/June though, when all the northern hemisphere is either
trying to finish their curriculum before the exam, preparing for the
exam or... gone away from school ;-)

Now with all this is mind how would you think of a better approach to
our scheduling?
