<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>
<figure>

<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
href="https://gnulinux.ch/das-war-der-i-love-free-software-day">Zurich
(CH)</a>, Barcelona and Madrid in Spain, and the German local groups in
Frankfurt, Berlin and Nuremberg. Have a look at the picture galleries

<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.

Headline No.1 was 'I Fixed Windows Native Development', headline No. 2 was 'I love the work of the ArchWiki maintaienrs', headline No. 3 'Flashpoint Archive - Over 200k web games and animations preserved', headline No. 4 'Two different ricks for fast LLM ubverebce', headline No. 5 'My smart sleep mask broadcasts users' brainwaves to an open MQTT broker'."/>

<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
href="https://mapforge.org/m/11171656?nomenu=true#4.07/46.1/5.8/0/30">"I
Love Free Software Day" map</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>
<p>
The podcast is still available, and we warmly invite you to take “I Love
Free Software Day” to your ears and give it a listen: <a
href="/news/podcast/2026/episode-47.html">SFP#47: ILoveFS: Lets meet
our maintainers</a>
</p>
<p>
For the "I Love Free Software Day" 2026 we also came up with a new way
to convey why this celebration and the general message behind the "I
Love Free Software Day" is so important, a comic! And let's be honest,
who does not love comics *-*
</p>
<p>Have a look and get inspired ❤️ ❤️ ❤️</p>

<title>22 events, one message: Maintainers Matter and we love Free Software</title>

<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>

</figure>
<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
years “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
href="/activities/ilovefs/comic/comic.html">brand-new
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: Lets meet our maintainers”. In
this episode, Bonnie Mehring speaks with maintainer Lorenz Kästle about
the rewards and challenges of maintaining Free Software projects in
ones 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>
