FYI.
It's a bit late to organise anything but nice to keep informed all the same! As far as I know, Max and co. are delivering 631 letters to the Bundestag, for all MPs, to promote Free Software and push for political support :)

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: 14 February 2017 - I Love Free Software Day. Will you participate? Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 11:02:37 +0100 From: Matthias Kirschner mk@fsfe.org To: associates@lists.fsfe.org CC: Max Mehl max.mehl@fsfe.org
Dear associates,
our Free Software society would be nothing without enthusiasm and dedication. You and your initiative contribute an important part to that great universe, and you deserve a huge THANK YOU!
That's why each year on Tuesday 14 February, the FSFE organises the „I Love Free Software Day“: to remind people that they are using a lot of Free Software and that many developers, translators, designers, documentation writers, or testers often work in their free time to improve the software they love.
## How you can help
But we need your participation! Please help us raising awareness in your community and beyond for this special day of love and thankfulness. We have collected a few ideas for possible activities you or people in your community can carry out on 14 February:
- Decorate your work or meeting place with our balloons, stickers and posters and share some photos or videos with your community, ideally using the #ilovefs hashtag - Write a blog post / post in social media about why you adore creating Free Software - Style your project's website with appropriate artwork: https://ilovefs.org/artwork - Throw a party! Invite Free Software contributors for a small ILoveFS get together, some ILoveFS cake and beverages - ...and get some inspiration from last year's activities: https://ilovefs.org/latest-report
If you need some lovely promotion material, simply order it online: https://fsfe.org/promo
## Contact information
We will be happy to help you in case you need to realise your ideas! Please write to Max Mehl max.mehl@fsfe.org in case you have questions about the activity.
We hope that all of you will also receive many signs of recognition for your work next Tuesday.
Best Regards, Matthias
