|
||
|
||
<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>

<h2>First signs of love at FOSDEM</h2>

<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">

</div>
|
||
|
||
<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>

</div>
|
||
|
||
<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>

<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

<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>
