- <h1>FSFE's goal for February 14th: More love reports than bug reports!</h1>
-
- <p>Free Software Foundation Europe asks all Free Software users to show their
- love to Free Software on February 14th</p>
-
- <p>"Let's be honest: In the Free Software community, we
- exchange a lot of criticism. We write bug reports, tell others how they can
- improve the software, ask them for new features, and generally are not shy
- about criticising others. Sometimes we forget to say "thank you, for all your
- work". As in the last years, we want to change this, at least for one day. So
- on Tuesday the 14th of February we will celebrate the <a
- href="http://ilovefs.org">"I love Free Software" - Day </a>, says Matthias
- Kirschner, FSFE's #ilovefs campaign manager.</p>
-
- <p><a href="http://ilovefs.org">FSFE has several suggestions </a> how to show
- your love to the people behind Free Software, including:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>buy your favourite developer a drink</li>
- <li>give them a hug (ask for permission first)</li>
- <li><a href="https://blogs.fsfe.org/thomaslocke/2012/01/18/why-i-love-free-and-open-source-software/">write an e-mail/letter </a> to a programmer expressing how much you
- like what they are doing</li>
- <li><a href="http://www.marcusmoeller.ch/fsfe/we-love-free-software.html">create nice pictures</a></li>
- <li>donate to a Free Software initiative</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>You can help spread the love by sharing <a
- href="/activities/ilovefs/index.html">the campaign banners </a>, by
- e-mail, (micro)blog or by spreading through any social network (please use the
- hashtag #ilovefs for this).</p>
-
- <p>"Free Software is about putting people first", says Karsten Gerloff, FSFE's
- president. "Technology is important, but we're passionate about technology
- because of what it enables us to do with others, not for its own sake. So this
- is the perfect time to say 'thank you' to those people out there who make
- technology better for all of us."</p>
-
- <p>If you live in Germany, you can join our <a
- href="/activities/ilovefs/index.html">whole day event with bands
- and workshops in the Unperfekthaus in Essen</a>.</p>
