<h1>Thank you for celebrating #ilovefs the whole day without borders</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>On February 14th, people around the globe were
|
||
celebrating the "I love Free Software" day. To all of you, thank you very
|
||
much for participating in our <a
|
||
href="/activities/ilovefs/index.html">#ilovefs-campaign</a> and
|
||
for showing your support for <a href="/freesoftware/freesoftware.html">Free
|
||
Software</a> on this day. We were really
|
||
excited about your creativity and participiation. All these love
|
||
declarations went out to the developers, users and wizards behind Free
|
||
Software and their communities. While some of you dedicated their love to
|
||
specific programs that you enjoy most. We are pretty sure that their
|
||
developers and users have read your love declarations and that your love
|
||
will motivate them to carry on their good work. Here are just a few
|
||
examples and highlights of your love declarations.</p>

<h3>Quotes</h3>

<!--10 ZACCHIROLI Stefano-->
|

<div class="testimonial" style="margin-bottom:3em">
|
||
<p><em>"I love Free Software because we depend more and more upon software, in
|
||
every moment of our lives. It is software that handles our email and
|
||
social network activities when we communicate; it is software that
|
||
controls our ovens and fridges when to prepare our meals; it is software
|
||
that drives cars and airplanes when we travel around the world; it is
|
||
software that keeps many of us alive when we need hospital equipment or
|
||
bio-medical devices like pacemakers. A world without Free Software
|
||
means being held hostage by proprietary software authors that run our
|
||
lives. I love Free Software because it can set us free."</em><br/>

<h3>#ilovefs-event in the Unperfekthaus</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This year, for the first time, we have been celebrating #ilovefs not only as
|
||
an online campaign. In addition we organised an <a
|
||
href="/activities/ilovefs/index.html">#ilovefs-event in the
|
||
Unperfekthaus in Essen</a>. For this event, we invited some speakers to give
|
||
talks on the topic of Free Software and even bands to play a concert in the
|
||
evening. Despite the fact that there were not as many visitors coming as we
|
||
would have loved to see at our first #ilovefs event, we were successful. The
|
||
organisation went fine and we received a lot of positive feedback from our
|
||
visitors, the speakers and the band members.</p>
