Dear Free Software lovers,
Last year on "I love Free Software" day we rocked the internet and showed the world how important Free Software is for us. Countless people in social networks and blogs praised various projects or aspects of Free Software. Our sister organisation initiated the cryptovalentine activity, and the EFF used this day to declare the importance of Free Software for digital security. We had comics, poems, pictures... well, look at the 2015 summary yourself [1]!
This year on February 14th we want to surpass it again: thank more contributors, bring Free Software in the broad media, reach more people. But we need your participation to achieve this, and there are lots of ways to support the campaign.
On the website [2] we have collected some ideas. For us, the best contribution for this special day are videos and pictures (see gallery [3]). For example, you at a special location declaiming a poem for Free Software, filming your FSFE group at a candlelight dinner, creating a comic or meme or lovely graphic... videos and images are worth thousand words and we can reach incredibly more people using them.
However, if that's not your kind of thing, feel free to do something different. Maybe the website gives you some ideas or you can look at the more detailled wiki page [4] where you also can find information on how to create a whole different campaign part.
Let's make this an unforgettable day for everyone in the Free Software community! We are looking forward to see your ideas on February 14th or earlier. Just drop me a line if you want to share your feedback or have any question.
Best regards, Max
P.S.: Please share this mail with your FSFE groups and with friends who love Free Software as well
