🎧 It is #podcast Friday!

Our first live recording from the #FOSDEM26 with @llas and @annabonnie is now released as our latest #SoftwareFreedom Podcast episode 📻

Lucas and Bonnie are discussing the question, can the DMA help #FreeSoftware #developers working with #Android?

❤️ Thank you to @fritjof for editing this episode

🌟 Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! 🌟

Today we celebrate the curiosity, creativity, and achievements of women and girls in STEM.

At the FSFE  we have projects like the illustrated book "Ada & Zangemann". It shows how #SoftwareFreedom contributes to make technology more inclusive, giving everyone the tools to explore, create, and collaborate.

While we regret when associations in the area of #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) stop their operations, we are thankful to the @oerinfo that they choose the FSFE to receive their remaining assets. ❣️

Thanks to those who made this happen, and thank you to all the other donors listed on https://fsfe.org/donate/thankgnus-2026.html and of course all our FSFE supporters, enabling our work for #SoftwareFreedom. 🫶

🚀 Our February newsletter is out 🚀

February is a reminder of why our #FreeSoftware community matters and why it's such a joy to be part of it! 🎊

#SoftwareFreedom

We're just $1,405 away now!!! That's just 11 new sustainers!

Know anyone who cares about #FreeSoftware but hasn't heard about #SoftwareFreedomConservancy? You can let them know we're the ones enforcing the #GPL, expanding the #softwarefreedom community and being the home of software projects that you rely on like git, openwrt, u-boot and inkscape to name just a few!

We can only do this work together!

OK! Just $2,017 left in #SFC's biggest match challenge ever (bigger by far)! So close!!! The next $20 donation will change the first number to 1!!!

I'm humbled by all of the support everyone has shown! So many people have given already, I think this will be a real nail biter!

The fact we've been able to come so far is a testament to our volunteers who care about #softwarefreedom! We the public deserve to control our own software! Please spread the word

Bit by bit, folks are kicking in for #softwarefreedom! Just $2273 left to go!

Small donations in many ways are our most important. They show that people really care about free software and that the work we do speaks to the public interest at large.

Can you help us spread the word? You can check out our Year in Review here below the donation box:

Good morning Australians and Kiwis! I know that you live in the future but I send you this message from the past that we still have 14 hours left in February 5 (until AoE)! Can you help us raise the $2,657 we have left until we make our match challenge?

Help us stand up for the #GPL, provide critical internships to those who need them most, and support our awesome member projects! 2026 will be a good year for #softwarefreedom, yes?
