|
|
<p>On Wednesday 14th of February, our community celebrated the |
|
annual "<a href="https://ilovefs.org">I love Free Software Day</a>". A day to declare love to the communities |
|
most important to you as well as saying "Thank You" to the Free Software |
|
projects surrounding us every single day. The Free Software Foundation Europe |
|
also wants to thank everyone who cheered and contributed to make this day as |
|
special as it could be.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>We counted hundreds of Tweets, Toots and Posts both on Twitter and the |
|
Fediverse as well as tens of blog posts, photos and artworks all showing love |
|
to the countless of people out there contributing to Free Software every day, |
|
be it in the form of code, translations, documentation, community work, |
|
designing or managing. Thank you very much to all of you amazing people!</p> |

<p><a href="/news/2017/news-20170315-01.html">Just like last year</a>, we |
|
already encountered lots of people eager to show love at FOSDEM. Besides the |
|
big projects such as GNOME, Debian, Firefox, Python, Linux or VLC, many also |
|
mentioned smaller or uncommon projects as well as general love for Free |
|
Software or values that can usually be found in Free Software Communities: |
|
"Openness", "Freedom", "Choice" or "self-determination" were terms we often |
|
heard. If you want to see more people expressing their love for Free |
|
Software, make sure to <a href="/activities/ilovefs/whylovefs/gallery.html"> |
|
check out the full gallery</a>.</p> |

|
|
<p>The projects attending FOSDEM also had the chance to thank their communities |
|
for contributing, bugreporting and helping. Not only that, we were also able |
|
to bring several projects together to find the similarities (or differences) |
|
they appreciate and show their shared love of Free Software.</p> |

<h2>I Love Free Software Day</h2> |

|
<p>When the day finally came, we received an overwhelming amount of messages |
|
from the community, expressing themselves, thanking their favorite projects |
|
and developers or advocating Free Software in general.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>In order to analyze the sheer amount of love messages and contributions |
|
coming in on I Love Free Software Day each year, we finally took a step up |
|
as well. Our current intern Jan wrote a Scraper in |
|
<a href="https://www.r-project.org/">GNU R</a> which helps us not to miss a |
|
single #ilovefs post and give every project the gratitude it deserves. Parts |
|
of it would not have been possible without the help of Vincent, our second |
|
intern. A cheer for collaboration and yet another proof that Free Software is |
|
awesome!</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Together on Twitter and the Fediverse, we counted exactly 439 "I Love Free |
|
Software" posts by 243 individual accounts containing the <em>#ilovefs</em> |
|
tag, mentioning 95 projects and developers. You can find a few visualizations |
|
showing the results of our collected data.</p> |

<p>The tools we wrote are Free as well and available for everyone to |
|
<a href="https://git.fsfe.org/janwey/ilfs-data"> |
|
use, study, share and improve</a>! But it is not all stats and data. The |
|
important thing is behind all of the numbers: The message these people want |
|
to send out and the feeling of a community of people so diverse and yet like |
|
minded when it comes to values like openness, acceptance, empathy or |
|
acknowledgment of what we can create together.</p> |

<p>There are multiple examples of this, like the |

<a href="https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/866"> |
|
amazing post on StreetComplete's issue-tracker by rugk</a>, where this user |
|
thanked the project and it's developer(s) in a lengthy text and received very |
|
nice feedback as well. |
|
<a href="https://www.schauenburg.nl/posts/2018/02/14-i-love-free-software-day-2018/"> |
|
Sebastian Schauenburg's blog post</a> where he calls for even more sympathy |
|
and communication among developers and within the communities themselves. A |
|
few projects also published blog posts themselves, for example Nextcloud, |
|
showing us <a href="https://nextcloud.com/blog/valentines-day-we-love-free-software/"> |
|
how the 4 Freedoms of Free Software made their very own existence |
|
possible</a>. Then there is some really good and creative artwork for example |
|
<a href="https://grisebouille.net/ilovefs/">by Grise Bouille</a> or |

that we are just not able to mention in this short report.</p> |

|
<h2>Save the date!</h2> |
|
|
|
<p>In case you missed your opportunity to thank your favourite project, mark |
|
February 14 as "I Love Free Software Day" in your calendar for next year. However, |
|
you shouldn't think it is the only day you are allowed to show your love. It's |
|
obvious we should show our appreciation and gratitude throughout the entire |
|
year – there is simply no wrong time for that!</p> |
|
|
|
<p>We would like to thank everyone involved in and contributing to this day, as |
|
well as the countless developers, translators, community managers, artists |
|
and anyone involved in Free Software.</p> |
