Spreading love and freedom in all possible places, my dear Max!!! <3 <3 <3

Some of my friends don't speak English, but several of them loved to declare their love in our language. Or in Klingon. Or in Elvish. Or in non-existent languages that live only in our hearts... LOVE is always LOVE in all the languages!!! :D

And in some moments, there is sincere love in the silence too. When you are trying to learn how to use a free software only to teach it to kids and you smile, and feel your heart full of love, brighting of joy, when the child shows you their work and want to learn more, more, and more! :')

I love Free Software and Free Hardware, but I didn't write about my love in <ilovefs.org> yet... I just wanted to say I love you and send zillions and zillions of love kisses to everyone, hahaha!!! ;D

Love, love, love... Tons of LOVE to all of you, my lovely lovable loves, hahaha!!! <3

Hi,

While you are reading this, someone somewhere is working on improving the code of a Free Software you use yourself. Although millions of users depend on Free Software, the people behind the respective projects usually remain invisible. Together we want to change that. 14 February, the "I love Free Software Day", is a good opportunity to do so. But we need your help for that.

Behind every Free Software project is a team of developers, translators and designers. These are people who fix bugs, make improvements and provide security updates. They do a great service to our society by making the code of their software available to the general public. This cannot be taken for granted. Many of these people do it voluntarily in their spare time. But how often do we actually thank them for this?

14 February is "I love Free Software" day. On this day, Free Software users are called upon to 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 addition #IloveFS. Or write a short thank you email to a development team. The message does not have to be long - a simple thank you is often enough. Do you think it's important for journalists to be able to research the web anonymously with Tor? Do you regularly use the Firefox browser, LibreOffice, or a Linux system yourself? Or is there a smaller and less known project that you personally care about? You alone decide who you want to please on this day. On the "I love Free Software Day" action page you will find various ideas and suggestions:

Action page: ilovefs.org

The "I love Free Software Day" is an important institution in the Free Software community. The more people participate, the more we can make it clear that we value this work, which is immensely important for our society. We would therefore be very pleased if you too would take part and take a moment on 14 February.

Best regards,

Max Mehl
Programme Manager
Free Software Foundation Europe

PS: Writing a short message takes only a few minutes. But this small gesture means a lot to many people. As FSFE we regularly get feedback from Free Software projects that the "I love Free Software Day" gives them a lot of strength and encourages them to continue. All the more reason why we should not let this day pass without a short thank you to our favourite project: ilovefs.org
