Free Software Foundation EuropeReady for the #ilovefs day?
This year, we want to show our appreciation to all the maintainers: they keep #FreeSoftware alive, build packages, test updates, and ensure tools work for all of us.
Let’s thank them for their hard work! 🙌

Updating Stallman's Freedom Principles | LinkedIn
We’re thrilled to host our first event! We will discuss how we can collectively make free software and open-source work better. For this event, we’ll be talking about the legendary Richard Stallman’s 4 free software principles. As revered as these principles are, they were conceived in the 1980s—a different technological era. Is it time for an upgrade? If any, what positive changes can be made in order for the principles to reflect the current demand of technology? How do we get there? What are the first steps? Event participants will enjoy a brief introduction and presentation by Lauriane Mollier, then have a chance to submit questions for the group to discuss. At the end of the event, we’ll leave you with a collaborative exercise where we’ll gather on GitHub. There are limited spaces available so ensure to register soon, we hope to see you there!
