Eu ♥ Software Livre

O Dia de São Valentim é tradicionalmente um dia para mostrar e celebrar o amor. Porque não aproveitar esta oportunidade para mostrar o seu amor pelo Software Livre este ano?

#ilovefs day 2013

Como em todos os anos, o Dia de São Valentim vai ser celebrado a 14 de Fevereiro, o que será numa Quinta-feira este ano. Tal como no ano passado, a FSFE está a planear uma campanha online para celebrar este dia como o "Dia do Amor ao Software Livre".

Campanha: Espalhe o seu amor pelo Sofrware Livre

A nossa campanha online tem como objectivo aumentar a consciência para o Software Livre e as pessoas apaixonadas e esforçadas por detrás dele. Mostre-lhes que aprecia o seu trabalho – pode fazer toda a diferença! Outros já o fizeram, para se inspirar pode ler o porquê de eles amarem o Software Livre.

Como é óbvio, há inúmeras maneiras de declarar o seu amor... Aqui ficam apenas algumas ideias de como proclamar publicamente o seu amor pelo Software Livre.

  • E-Mail/Letters Send active Free Software supporters a message thanking them for their work. Do not underestimate the effects of such a message. As many Free Software developers work hard for their projects without earning money, a big "thank you" / "love you" is like good fuel for their further encouragement
  • Microblog Especially on Valentine's Day, microblog about how you love Free Software, and use the Hashtag #ilovefs. Encourage your friends to do as well, let us try to push our message in a high ranking on Twitter trends and hashtag timelines in identi.ca and other blogging system.
  • Blog If you are a Blogger, blog about the "I love Free Software" - Day and the idea behind it. Get people attracted by the idea of Free Software.
  • Banners We set up a page showing different banners that support the "I love Free Software" - Day and that are free to use. Some even come along with code snippets to easily implement it on your homepage or blog.

Show your love - Individually

  • Hug a developer (Obviously better to ask permission first ; )
  • Buy your favourite developer a drink. Or buy someone else a drink and while savouring it, tell him/her about your favorite Free Software application!
  • Use your lunch break at work to talk with your colleagues about Free Software and why it is worth to support our movement.
  • Send a book to your favourite contributor and support FSFE at the same time.
  • Send us pictures of how you are expressing your feelings for Free Software. We will publish them on our website, making a gallery of Free Software lovers from around the world!
  • Wear shirts and sweaters showing your support for Free Software. If you need new stuff, you can order some from us, or from your favourite Free Software project.
  • Money can't buy you love... but it can help to fight for your freedom. Donate to FSFE or another Free Software initiative to express your gratitude. They depend on your contribution to continue their work. So check out your favourite organisation and make a donation. You can be sure they will love you back.

#ILOVEFS campaign 2013

21 February 2013:

Every year on February 14th people celebrate love, relationship with others.. and for the third year running, the wonders of Free Software. All around the world people expressed their love during the "I love Free software" day. We would like to thank you for participating, and share some lovely quotes, dents, tweets, blog entries and articles that were done because of your dedication to Free Software. When developers will read your declarations, they will definitely find extra energy to carry on their good work.

FSFE asks to show your love for Free Software!

12 February 2013:

On February 14th Free Software Foundation Europe asks all Free Software users to show their appreciation for Free Software. FSFE suggests to take this day as an opportunity to say "thank you" to one of the dedicated hard-working people in the Free Software community.

Thank you for celebrating #ilovefs the whole day without borders

23 February 2012:

On February 14th, people around the globe were celebrating the "I love Free Software" day. To all of you, thank you very much for participating in our #ilovefs-campaign and for showing your support for Free Software on this day. We were really excited about your creativity and participiation. All these love declarations went out to the developers, users and wizards behind Free Software and their communities. While some of you dedicated their love to specific programs that you enjoy most. We are pretty sure that their developers and users have read your love declarations and that your love will motivate them to carry on their good work. Here are just a few examples and highlights of your love declarations.

FSFE's goal for February 14th: More love reports than bug reports!

09 February 2012:

"Let's be honest: In the Free Software community, 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. Sometimes we forget to say "thank you, for all your work". As in the last years, we want to change this, at least for one day. So on Tuesday the 14th of February we will celebrate the "I love Free Software" - Day , says Matthias Kirschner, FSFE's #ilovefs campaign manager.
