<h1>I Love Free Software - and you?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>While you are reading this, someone somewhere is
|
|
improving the code of a Free Software you use for yourself. Free
|
|
Software has long been part of the daily use of billion of users, still
|
|
the people behind the respective projects often remain invisible.
|
|
Together we want to change that. On 14 February is the "I love Free
|
|
Software Day", a day to show your love and celebrate your favourite Free
|
|
Software and its contributors. Join us!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Behind every Free Software project is a team of developers,
|
|
translators, designers, and other contributors. These are the people who
|
|
fix bugs, improve the look and feel, and provide security updates. They
|
|
do a great service to our society by making the sources of their
|
|
work available to everyone and granting us the four freedoms. Day by
|
|
day, a lot of people bring in priceless contributions, many of which do
|
|
it voluntarily in their spare time. But how often do we actually thank
|
|
them for this?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is what the annual <a href="https://ilovefs.org">"I love Free
|
|
Software"</a> day is made for. On 14 February, Free Software users
|
|
around the globe show their appreciation for a project of their choice.
|
|
It's easy to join in: just write a short message of thanks on the social
|
|
network of your choice with the hashtag <strong>#ilovefs</strong>. Or
|
|
write a short thank you email to a development team. The message does
|
|
not have to be long - even a simple thank you is highly appreciated.</p>

|
<p>Do you use one of the popular Free Software applications to browse
|
|
the web, write your emails and documents, or a Free Software operating
|
|
system? Or is there a smaller and less known project that you personally
|
|
care about? You alone decide who you want to appreciate on this day. If
|
|
you like some inspiration, you find various ideas and suggestions on the
|
|
<a href="/activities/ilovefs/">"I love Free Software Day" action
|
|
page</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "I love Free Software Day" is an important tradition for the Free
|
|
Software community. The more people participate, the more we can show
|
|
how immensely important Free Software is for our society. Take a few
|
|
moments on Friday, 14 February, and show your love for Free
|
|
Software!</p>
