I love Free Software Day 2017
Max Mehl It's time to say "thank you" on 14th of February, the "I love Free Software" Day 2017. The Free Software Foundation Europe asks all Free Software users to use the traditional day of love to think of the hardworking people contributing to the Free Software we all depend on. As every year there are many ways for people to participate in this campaign.
In the Free Software society 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. There is nothing wrong about that. It helps us to constantly improve. But sometimes we forget to show the hardworking people behind the software our appreciation.
Show your love for Free Software
As the traditional day to show one's appreciation to people, Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to thank the contributors of the various Free Software you love: developers, translators, designers, testers, or documentation writers, of huge softwares or smaller projects. All of them work on the Free Software ecosystem which we can enjoy every day.
Have a look at how you can participate this year on our campaign page. You can also read how we celebrated last year and see how people declare their love for Free Software. If everybody contributes a small part we can enjoy a beautiful "I love Free Software" day together!
