<p newsteaser="yes">On February 14th, people all around the world expressed
|
|
|
|
|
their gratitude and appreciation not only to their partner but also to Free
|
|
|
|
|
Software and its contributors. With our yearly #ilovefs we asked you to
|
|
|
|
|
thank your favourite developers and projects and were overwhelmed by the
|
2014-02-20 20:43:35 +00:00
|
|
|
resonance in blogs, social networks and mailing lists.</p>

<p>Developers and contributors of Free Software projects work hard to ensure
|
|
|
|
|
our freedom and on this day surely many of them gained new motivation. Thank
|
|
|
|
|
you for participating in this year's #ilovefs campaign and enjoy some of the
|
|
|
|
|
many love declarations we collected:</p>

<p>Adrienne sees Free Software as an important part of her life and explains
|
|
|
|
|
why <a href="http://cracktheplates.com/2014/02/i-love-free-software/
|
|
|
|
|
">even little steps in using Free Software are meaningful</a>:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>I use it because it is written by people who care deeply
|
|
|
|
|
about what they do, and who want to keep improving. It reminds me of the
|
|
|
|
|
Hebrew phrase <em>tikkun olam</em>, which means repairing (or healing) the
|
|
|
|
|
world. Free Software means you can read the code, which means you can
|
|
|
|
|
improve it — and then pass it on for the better. Free Software repairs the
|
|
|
|
|
world by advancing projects made with integrity to people who need them,
|
|
|
|
|
free of charge. One day, I hope to contribute code to projects that people
|
|
|
|
|
use every day.</p></blockquote>

<p>Tamara was an intern in a local hacklab and says that <a href=
|
|
|
|
|
"http://tamaraatanasoska.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/i-love-free-software/">
|
|
|
|
|
knowing and teaching the ideology and message of Free Software is
|
|
|
|
|
crucial</a>:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>What is really important, is that they, while teaching me the
|
|
|
|
|
purely technical stuff about Linux and helping me with the programming, were
|
|
|
|
|
insisting that I know and get familiar with the ideology and what stands
|
|
|
|
|
behind Free Software, and why is it crucial to us. They gave me
|
|
|
|
|
documentaries to watch, they talked, shared, repeated. And I thank them. I
|
|
|
|
|
am a better person and hacker and have made friends for life.</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For Anna, Free Software is especially interesting when <a href=
|
|
|
|
|
"http://www.phplist.com/?lid=635">mixed with other aspects of an open society
|
|
|
|
|
</a>:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>Today, February the 14th, is an international celebration of
|
|
|
|
|
our love... for Free Software! People love it for all sorts of reasons, but
|
|
|
|
|
for me, it's about the creative freedom that Free Software brings, with new
|
|
|
|
|
software and new skills just a sudo yum install away. I feel especially
|
|
|
|
|
blessed when Free Software meets Open Culture; then the party really gets
|
|
|
|
|
started! </p></blockquote>

<p>One speciality of #ilovefs is the broadband of people expressing their
|
|
|
|
|
love for Free Software. Year after year we recognise that Free Software is
|
|
|
|
|
not only a topic for programmers and professional users but for many groups
|
|
|
|
|
of people: the average computer users, artists, journalists, companies, and
|
|
|
|
|
among them also politicians. This year the parliamentary group of the Green
|
|
|
|
|
party in Germany wrote how important Free Software is in times of global
|
|
|
|
|
surveillance and in general. And as a small extra they also sent a nice
|
|
|
|
|
picture, which deserves much respect considering the stressful schedule of
|
|
|
|
|
politicians.</p>

<p>There were also several events which focussed on the I Love Free Software
|
|
|
|
|
Day. In Manchester, <a href=

|
|
|
"http://freeasinfreedom.org.uk/what-we-did-becase-we-love-free-software/">
|
|
|
|
|
Free Software was even celebrated with a week-long festival</a> full of
|
|
|
|
|
workshops about Bitcoin, Encryption, Wordpress and Free Your Android. Anna
|
|
|
|
|
and the other volunteers had a very busy week with co-organising it but it
|
|
|
|
|
was worth it: More than 100 people were learning, teaching and having fun
|
|
|
|
|
with Free Software!</p>
