|
||
<p>In the Free Software society we exchange a lot of criticism. We write bug
|
||
reports, tell others how they can improve the software, ask them for new
|
||
features, and generally are not shy about criticising others. There is nothing
|
||
wrong about that. It helps us to constantly improve. But sometimes we forget to
|
||
show the hardworking people behind the software our appreciation. We should not
|
||
underestimate the power of a simple "thank you" to motivate Free Software
|
||
contributors in their important work for society. The 14th of February (a
|
||
Sunday this year) is the ideal day to do that.</p>

<p>Many people are in love with Free Software for different reasons (<a href="/campaigns/ilovefs/whylovefs/gallery.html">full gallery</a>)</p>

|
||
<p>Free Software drives a huge number of devices in our everyday life. It ensures
|
||
our freedom, our security, civil rights, and privacy. It enables everyone to
|
||
participate in a fair society. But as with people, everybody has different
|
||
reasons to love Free Software. Let's show this variety to the world!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As the traditional day to show one's appreciation to people, Valentine's Day
|
||
is the perfect opportunity to say <strong>thank you</strong> to the
|
||
contributors of the various Free Software you love: developers, translators,
|
||
designers, testers, or documentation writers, of huge softwares or smaller
|
||
projects. All of them work on the Free Software ecosystem which we can enjoy
|
||
every day.</p>

|
||
