Software-i i Lirë dhe FSFE-ja për mua janë: ndarje me të tjerët, nxënie, të qenët i pavarur nga monopole, prodhim gjërash së bashku, pasion dhe liri! Qëkurse jam Anëtar Shok, po bëj miq të rinj që më ndihmojnë për Software-in e Lirë dhe tema të tjera, duke mësuar gjëra të reja përditë, edhe pse jemi kilometra të tërë larg. Të jesh në një bashkësi që përkrah vazhdimisht pasionin dhe motivimin tim lidhur me Software-in e Lirë është madhështore!

I love Free Software because it empowers me to do unconventional and innovative things. It allows me to be independent from any single entity, fosters a culture of transparency, deepens my understanding of the tools I use, and helps build a trusting community. I want the next one to have the same freedoms I enjoy and to break the chain of proprietary, unjust software. This is why I support FSFE and proudly advocate for Free Software.
