<h1>"I Love Free Software Day" 2026: Maintainers matter</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the week around 14 February we celebrated the "I Love Free
|
||||
Software Day 2026: Maintainers matter" ❤️. During our 2026 celebrations we highlighted the work done by
|
||||
software maintainers while also reaching out to everybody contributing
|
||||
to Free Software. We expressed our appreciation, not only in words but
|
||||
through financial support, for their work to software freedom.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In 2026, we marked this special day with 22 events in 12 different European countries.
|
||||
Even more, hundreds of people and many organisations joined us in the
|
||||
Fediverse - with a special "Thank you!" note for Free Software projects,
|
||||
maintainers and contributors. To all who joined us
|
||||
this time: <strong>"Thank you" for participating in the "I Love Free
|
||||
Software Day 2026: Maintainers matter" !</strong> ❤️❤️❤️</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This year the FSFE and its local groups focused on software maintainers of
|
||||
Free Software projects for the "I Love Free Software Day". Together with
|
||||
our local groups, we wanted to raise awareness of all the people
|
||||
maintaining and ensuring that our Free Software projects are updated and
|
||||
available. Maintaining a Free Software project isn't often highlighted
|
||||
enough! Software maintainers are the ones who implement our
|
||||
contributions, who fix security issues - with limited resources - and
|
||||
who ensure that the projects we depend on are still around.</p>

<h3>I Love Free Software Day celebrations 2026: Maintainers matter</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><strong> Celebration and events </strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For this year, we had 22 <a href="https://ilovefs.org/">different
|
||||
events</a> in 12 European countries. Among them several new people
|
||||
organised an event in a new location for the "I Love Free Software Day"
|
||||
celebrations. Among those events there were two countries, Croatia and
|
||||
Norway, with the first event for this special day. This year, seven of
|
||||
the 20 events were organised from people who are not part of a local
|
||||
FSFE group or are active volunteers for the FSFE. In regard to the "I
|
||||
Love Free Software Day" events, it was especially inspiring to see how
|
||||
many groups came back again to organise a dedicated event.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To help the FSFE's local groups with organising all the different events
|
||||
we updated the <a href="https://ilovefs.org/toolkit">I Love Free
|
||||
Software Day toolkit</a> and a new version of the old paper quiz, now
|
||||
also available as an <a href="https://quiz.fsfe.org">online quiz</a>.
|
||||
Additionally, to the toolkit and to focus communication with everybody
|
||||
willing to join the "I Love Free Software Day" events we created a
|
||||
dedicated mailing list for the event organisers - if you wish to become
|
||||
an I Love Free Software Day event organiser reach out to
|
||||
<email>contact@fsfe.org</email>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> With this preparation our local groups could get started with organising all the amazing events across
|
||||
Europe ❤️.</p>

<h4><strong>Tirana, Albania</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once again LibreLabs, formerly known as OpenLabs, came back together to organise an event in Albania.
|
||||
This year it was a cosy get-together and a great start of 'I Love Free Software
|
||||
Day' celebrations.</p>

<h4><strong>I Love Free Software Day reaches Croatia and Norway</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For the first time the "I Love Free Software Day" reached Croatia and
|
||||
Norway each with a local event! The initiative was taken up by
|
||||
individual Free Software enthusiasts and in the case of Norway linked to
|
||||
a presentation of the Norwegian translation of the <a
|
||||
href="/activities/ada-zangemann/">"Ada and Zangemann" book,</a> a story
|
||||
about software, skateboards, and raspberry ice cream.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The event in Croatia was taking place in the coastal city of Pula, and
|
||||
organised in a café. It was small but very nice to exchange views and
|
||||
opinions on Free Software and to talk with one another. For the "I Love
|
||||
Free Software Day" 2026, the event was only announced a few days before
|
||||
taking place and the short notice left little time to prepare. For the
|
||||
upcoming "I Love Free Software Days" we are very curious to see what
|
||||
will be happening over the next years and of course we hope that the "I
|
||||
Love Free Software Day" celebrations will take roots in Croatia.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also, the event in Norway was the first time a local celebration of the
|
||||
"I Love Free Software Day" took place in the European North. So, "I Love
|
||||
Free Software Day" is coming to the ice parts of Europe. Similar to
|
||||
Croatia, it all came together in the last few days before the 14th of
|
||||
February. The event took place in a café, and it was a nice get-together
|
||||
will Free Software enthusiasts from the area.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><strong>Bonn, Germany celebration</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Among our newest event locations was also the German city of Bonn. The
|
||||
local FSFE group in Bonn is quite active and holds <a
|
||||
href="https://docs.fsfe.org/en/LocalGroups/Active/Bonn">regular
|
||||
meetings</a> throughout the year. Everybody is welcome to step by at the
|
||||
"bitcircus101". In 2026, for the first time, the local group also came
|
||||
together for the "I Love Free Software Day" and organised a larger event
|
||||
with talks, vegan curry and lots of fun. In their talks they also
|
||||
reflected the topic of this year's "I Love Free Software Day"
|
||||
Maintainers matter. Together they talked about, what a maintainer is,
|
||||
what kind of work she or he does and how best to support maintainers in
|
||||
their work. All in all it was an amazing celebration with a lot of
|
||||
topics to discuss and wonderful discussion about Free Software.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><strong>Amsterdam, Netherlands celebration</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Together with the <a href="https://www.internetarchive.eu/">Internet
|
||||
Archive Europe</a>, our volunteer Tommi organised an event
|
||||
in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This was also the first time, that a
|
||||
celebration took place in Amsterdam for the "I Love Free Software Day".
|
||||
It was a great day full of Free Software, networking and much more. The
|
||||
day was made especially remarkable by the kindness of the hosts and
|
||||
co-organiser, Beatrice and the team of Internet Archive Europe.

<h4><strong>Poland</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Last year the "I Love Free Software Day" made it to Poland! This year
|
||||
the city of Poznan had one of the biggest local group
|
||||
celebrations in 2026, with nearly 80 people attending their celebration
|
||||
in the University. It was a day full of talks and presentations of Free
|
||||
Software projects, of fun, and of course writing postcards.

||||

|

|

<p>
|
||||
Apart from the celebration in Poznan there were two more "I Love Free
|
||||
Software Day" events taking place in Poland, one in Warsaw and another,
|
||||
for the first time, in Łódź. It was amazing to see, once again, how many
|
||||
people came together for the celebrations and changed their views,
|
||||
thoughts and stories about Free Software and its projects. In Warsaw,
|
||||
around 40 people celebrated their
|
||||
passion for Free Software in the local hacker space.

<h4><strong>More events? More fun!</strong></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With all the amazing events taking place around Europe over 300 people
|
||||
were reached, and it was again a great pleasure to see all the different
|
||||
communities in the different countries coming together to celebrate all
|
||||
the contributors, maintainers and developers of Free Software!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It was a great pleasure to see the people gathering in Oxford (UK),
|
||||
Potteries (UK), Eindhoven (Netherlands), <a

<h3>Outreach of the "I Love Free Software Day" 2026</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once more the #ilovefs made it under the <a
|
||||
href="https://mastodon.social/@TrendingHashtags/116069577658470127">top
|
||||
most used hashtags in the Fediverse</a> on the 14th of February!
|
||||
Proofing that the "I Love Free Software Day" celebrations are taking
|
||||
roots not only in the real world but continuously growing also in the
|
||||
online sphere. For this, we want to say a very loud and proud
|
||||
'<strong>Thank you</strong>'! Thank you to all of you who shared their
|
||||
appreciation for Free Software and their gratitude to all free software
|
||||
contributors.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The "I Love Free Software" 2026 made headlines in the fediverse but for
|
||||
the first time it was also on the Hacker News with a 'thank you' blog
|
||||
post by the FSFE's president Matthias Kirschner. In his <a
|
||||
href="https://k7r.eu/i-love-the-work-of-the-archwiki-maintainers/">post</a>
|
||||
Matthias shared his passion for Arch and especially the wonderful and
|
||||
very extensive ArchWiki. The ArchWiki is not just full of knowledge
|
||||
related to Arch Linux, but also with general information about Free
|
||||
Software projects and Linux related questions.

<h3>Volunteers coming forward for the "I Love Free Software Day!"</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Not only achieved this year's "I Love Free Software Day" some new highs
|
||||
in regard to outreach, we also had a novelty with the new Fediverse
|
||||
Badges.
|
||||
One of the Polish volunteers, set up its own <a
|
||||
href="https://badgefed.org/">BadgeFed instance</a> and shared the "I
|
||||
Love Free Software Day" event organisers badge, participant badge and
|
||||
contributor badge for the "I Love Free Software Day". Thus creating a
|
||||
new way of highlighting the work done by contributors and saying 'Thank
|
||||
you' to all those amazing people who made the "I Love Free Software Day
|
||||
2026: Maintainers Matter" such a special and unique time of the year!
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Not only volunteers from the FSFE came forward this year with new ideas.
|
||||
Also, the long-standing wish for a map for all the different "I Love
|
||||
Free
|
||||
Software Day" events has been made possible with Tom, the person behind,
|
||||
the <a href="https://mapforge.org/">mapforge project</a>! Mapforge
|
||||
allows you to create individualised maps of events, hikes, or places
|
||||
you want to share. This year we had our own <a

<h3>Software Freedom Podcast episode with Lorenz Kästle</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As it is a tradition now, for the 2026 Maintainers matter celebrations
|
||||
the FSFE recorded a special Software Freedom Podcast episode. For our 47th
|
||||
episode Bonnie Mehring sat down with one of the maintainers from the
|
||||
well-used monitoring plugins, Lorenz Kästle. Bonnie and Lorenz discuss
|
||||
what nice benefits but also challenges come along with being a
|
||||
maintainer in your free time.</p>

||||

Children and young people are also moving intensively in digital spaces, which are characterized by tech corporations and closed platforms mostly outside Europe and often also by the political ideas of their owners. </p>
|
||||
<p>At the 26. Gautinger Internet meeting Johannes Näder and Bonnie Mehring, from the FSFE, will present the youth activities from the FSFE, Youth Hacking 4 Freedom and the well known &quot;Ada &amp; Zangemann&quot; childrens book. </p>

<h1>22 events, one message: Maintainers Matter and we love Free Software</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The 2026 edition of “I Love Free Software Day” demonstrated, once
|
||||
again, the strength and gratitude of our Free Software community. 22
|
||||
celebrations in 12 European countries highlighted the invaluable work
|
||||
of Free Software maintainers as well as bringing people together to
|
||||
thank everyone who contributes to Free Software. Appreciation also
|
||||
extended across the Fediverse, alongside other surprises. </p>

|

|
||||
<p>We are really proud of our community and what the Free Software
|
||||
ecosystem is achieving day after day, but there is one special moment
|
||||
each year when we invite everyone to shout it out into the world. “I
|
||||
Love Free Software Day” is our yearly celebration dedicated to saying
|
||||
thank you to all those behind our favourite Free Software projects.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Every year on 14 February, or in the days
|
||||
around it, our communities come together across Europe and online to
|
||||
express their appreciation. Whether through local meet-ups, talks,
|
||||
workshops, postcards, blog posts, social media messages, or simple words
|
||||
of gratitude, the message is clear: Free Software exists and thrives
|
||||
because of the people who build, maintain, document, translate, test,
|
||||
and support it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For the 2026 celebration, and under the motto “Maintaners Matter”,
|
||||
our communities organised 22 events across 12 different European
|
||||
countries, reaching more than 300 people offline. From cosy café
|
||||
meet-ups to university gatherings and hacker spaces, people came
|
||||
together to say a heartfelt “Thank you” to Free Software maintainers,
|
||||
contributors, and developers.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And many more people celebrated it online. Hundreds of individuals
|
||||
and organisations joined the celebration on the Fediverse, sharing
|
||||
appreciation posts and gratitude messages. The hashtag #ilovefs ranked
|
||||
among the<a
|
||||
href="https://mastodon.social/@TrendingHashtags/116069577658470127">
|
||||
most used hashtags on the day</a>. For the first time, the celebration
|
||||
also reached the front page of Hacker News, thanks to a “thank you” blog
|
||||
post by Matthias Kirschner, the president of the FSFE, <a
|
||||
href="https://k7r.eu/i-love-the-work-of-the-archwiki-maintainers/">who
|
||||
shared his appreciation for Arch Linux and the extensive
|
||||
ArchWiki</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>New countries, Badges, Fediwall, a comic, and a map</h3>
|
||||
<p>For the first time, “I Love Free Software Day” reached
|
||||
Croatia and Norway, each hosting a local event and
|
||||
expanding the celebration further north and south across Europe. New
|
||||
cities joined as well, including Bonn (Germany) and Amsterdam
|
||||
(Netherlands). And also Tirana (Albania) returned for this edition.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Polish community, which reactivated its activities around last
|
||||
year’s “I Love Free Software Day”, strengthened continued its strong
|
||||
engagement with events in Łódź, Warsaw, and Poznań. Poznań hosted one of
|
||||
the largest gatherings in 2026, bringing together nearly 80 participants
|
||||
for a vibrant day of talks, discussions, and shared appreciation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Across Europe, communities also met in
|
||||
Oxford and the Potteries (UK), Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Eindhoven
|
||||
(Netherlands), Zurich (Switzerland), Barcelona and Madrid (Spain),
|
||||
Frankfurt, Berlin, Bonn and Nuremberg (Germany), as well as in Portugal,
|
||||
where ANSOL organised an online celebration, and many more.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This year also saw remarkable volunteer-driven innovations:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A new<a href="https://fediwall.social/?tags=ilovefs"> Fediwall
|
||||
system</a> was developed to highlight and visualise online participation
|
||||
across the Fediverse.</li>
|
||||
<li>A Polish volunteer set up a<a
|
||||
href="https://odznaka.reszka.org/explore"> BadgeFed instance</a>,
|
||||
creating dedicated “I Love Free Software Day” badges for organisers,
|
||||
participants, and contributors. A creative new way to publicly recognise
|
||||
engagement!</li>
|
||||
<li>A long-standing wish for a dedicated event map became reality thanks
|
||||
to Tom, the project leader of mapforge, who made<a
|
||||
href="https://mapforge.org/m/11171656?nomenu=true#4.07/46.1/5.8/0/30"> a
|
||||
customised “I Love Free Software Day</a>” map possible, showcasing
|
||||
celebrations across Europe.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To convey the importance of the day in a more visual and accessible
|
||||
way, the 2026 celebrations also introduced a <a

||||

|
||||
comic, explaining why appreciation and recognition for Free Software
|
||||
contributors matter so much.</a></p>

<p>For the 2026 edition, the Software Freedom Podcast
|
||||
released its 47th episode, “ILoveFS: Let’s meet our maintainers”. In
|
||||
this episode, Bonnie Mehring speaks with maintainer Lorenz Kästle about
|
||||
the rewards and challenges of maintaining Free Software projects in
|
||||
one’s free time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>“I Love Free Software Day” has grown into a well-established online
|
||||
and offline celebration of Software Freedom. Above all, the day remains
|
||||
what it has always been: a joyful celebration full of gratitude,
|
||||
connection, and recognition.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To everyone who organised an event, sent a postcard, shared a
|
||||
hashtag, joined a podcast, created a badge, developed tools, or simply
|
||||
said <strong>“Thank you”: thank you for making “I Love Free
|
||||
Software Day 2026: Maintainers Matter” such a special and inspiring
|
||||
celebration.</strong></p>
