<p>Sunday 14 February 2016 was a day to declare love for
|
|
people we care for. On this day, as a yearly tradition, the Free Software
|
|
community celebrates "I love Free Software" day to thank developers behind Free
|
|
Software. This year, for the 6th time, FSFE asked everyone to participate and
|
|
express their appreciation and gratitude to their favourite Free Software
|
|
contributors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We gathered the variety of love declarations that happened on this day,
|
|
including blog posts, pictures, comics, videos and more. FSFE thanks everyone
|
|
who participated and who made #ilovefs day a success. Please mark next year's
|
|
14 February as "I Love Free Software" day to continue this nice tradition of
|
|
acknowledging the people and hard work of everyone behind Free Software.</p>

<h2>"I love Free Software, because..."</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Love for Free Software got expressed in many ways. Favourite projects got
|
|
named and acknowledged during FOSDEM <a
|
|

|
|
users and developers expressing their gratitude towards projects their love.
|
|
Check it out if your favourite Free Software is missing from the list and use

the chance to say "thank you". </p>

<p>We want to thank all #ilovefs participants for acknowledging the importance

the ones that were not mentioned this time. We also encourage you to say thank

you in between whenever you feel it is appropriate.</p>
