<p>“Hidden Projects” is this year’s theme for <a href="/activities/ilovefs/">‘I Love Free Software Day’</a>, that wants to highlight Free Software initiatives that may not
|
||||
always be in the spotlight but that are essential to the infrastructure
|
||||
we rely on every day. These “hidden” projects -from server software to
|
||||
critical tools that power our systems- form the backbone of our daily infrastructure. It’s time we give them the recognition they deserve!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Join us on <strong>Friday, 14 February 2025</strong>, as we celebrate the Free
|
||||
Software projects that power our digital infrastructure, and most
|
||||
importantly, the incredible people behind them: all those contributors
|
||||
doing their bit so all of us can benefit.</p>
|
||||
<p>Together, we can make a real difference in showing the world how crucial
|
||||
Free Software is for our society.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The more people participating in ‘I Love Free Software Day’, the
|
||||
stronger the message we send about the importance of Free Software in
|
||||
our daily lives. This day is a chance for all of us to shine a spotlight
|
||||
on the hidden heroes who make it all possible. Whether you’re a
|
||||
developer, system administrator, translator, community moderator, your work
|
||||
matters.</p>
