<p>On 14th February, the Free Software Foundation Europe
|
|
asks all Free Software users to think about the dedicated hard-working
|
|
people in the Free Software community and to show them their appreciation <a
|
|
href="/news/2013/news-20130221-01.html">like last year</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>"Every day, we use Free Software and often take it for
|
|
granted. We write bug reports, tell others how they should improve their
|
|
software, or ask them for new features. Often we are not shy about
|
|
criticising. So, to let the people in Free Software receive a positive
|
|
feedback once a year, there is the 'I love Free Software day'."
|
|
says FSFE's vice president Matthias Kirschner, who initiated the <a href=
|
|
"http://ilovefs.org">#ilovefs campaign</a> in 2010.</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the <a href="http://ilovefs.org">"I love Free Software Day"</a> the
|
|
FSFE has several suggestions how to show your love creatively to the people
|
|
behind Free Software, including:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Write an e-mail or letter to contributors expressing how much you like
|
|
what they are doing.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Share your feelings about Free Software in social networks and
|
|
microblogs using <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ilovefs">#ilovefs
|
|
</a>. Or write a blog post about your favourite Free Software application.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Buy your favourite contributor a drink. Or buy someone else a drink
|
|
and while enjoying it, tell her/him about your favourite Free Software
|
|
program.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Give a contributor a hug (ask for permission first). You might wonder
|
|
how many Free Software developers live in your area!</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Help us collecting quotes for our <a href=
|
|
"/activities/ilovefs/whylovefs/whylovefs.html">testimonials of people loving
|
|
Free Software</a>. Ask developers, artists, politicians, or other users to
|
|
send their quote to <email>contact@fsfe.org</email>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Take a picture of yourself showing your feelings for Free Software,
|
|
and post them online.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Donate to <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/DonateToFreeSoftwareProjects">Free Software initiatives</a>
|
|
or <a href= "https://my.fsfe.org/donate">to FSFE</a>
|
|
to express your gratitude. They depend on your contribution to continue
|
|
their work. So check out your favourite organisation and make a donation.
|
|
You can be sure they will love you back.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Finally you can help spread the love by sharing the <a href="/activities/ilovefs/artwork/artwork.html">campaign banners</a>, by e-mail,
|
|
(micro)blog or by spreading through any social network (please use the
|
|
hashtag #ilovefs for this).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>"Free Software gains its strenghts by the community and
|
|
the ability to work together and join forces." says Matthias Kirschner. "We should not underestimate
|
|
the power of a simple "thank you" for people who are easing our everyday
|
|
work. So say thank you on 14th
|
|
February!"</p></blockquote>
