Liebe FSFE-ZH'ler
Das Februartreffen der FSFE-ZH wird vom 8. auf den 14. Februar verschoben. Grund
dafür ist der I Love Free Software Day am 14.2.
Hier ist die Agenda: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/Zurich/2024-02-14
Bitte meldet, ob ihr kommt oder nicht. Wir treffen uns nicht in der
Bitwäscherei, sondern in einer Pizzeria. Vorschläge für ein zentral gelegenes
Restaurant sind willkommen. Da wir uns auch zeigen möchten, sind Ideen für
Aktionen gefragt. Das können kleine Dinge sein, die mit uns und unserer
Tätigkeit bei der FSFE-ZH zu tun haben. Macht bitte Vorschläge.
Die für den 8. Februar geplanten Traktanden habe ich auf das Märztreffen
verschoben: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/Zurich/2024-03-14
Vorab, herzlichen Dank für eure Vorschläge
Ralf

Dear Zürich-List,
Once again, it is this time of the year! We have almost jumped into
2024, and ‘I Love Free Software Day 2024’ is fast approaching.
Over the last years, ‘I Love Free Software Day’ has become quite a
tradition for us, as well as for many other Free Software communities
out there. It is heart-warming to see how ‘I Love Free Software Day’ has
evolved over the past years and how it became a special day for the Free
Software community, specially its contributors.
Celebrating ‘I Love Free Software Day’ encourages us to stay motivated
and to continue working, together, on achieving software freedom. It
creates a lovely and welcoming Free Software community that appreciates
its contributors and their effort, that values the thoughts of the
community, and that believes in the power of collaboration and
contribution. Together, we can create welcoming, friendly and motivating
Free Software communities that share our love for Free Software. We can
do this by simply saying “Thank you” to each other.
Join us and be part of ‘I Love Free Software Day 2024: Forging the
future with Free Software’!
How can you participate?
As last year, we want to support you our, local groups, in organising ‘I
Love Free Software Day’ events across Europe. Ideally those events
should take place on 14 February, but any closer date to that day is
also possible. If you need some budget for Pizza or non-alcoholic drinks
please reach out to me via e-mail: bonnie(a)fsfe.org
On ‘I Love Free Software Day 2024: Forging the future with Free
Software’ our focus is the younger generations. Therefore, we ask you to
organise a meeting that includes them under the slogan “Forging the
future with Free Software”.
Here are some ideas for ‘I Love Free Software Day 2024: Forging the
future with Free Software’:
• Talk to your local youth club and organise a Free Software
information day with them
• Talk to your local library and ask if they would be interested in
organising a reading of “Ada & Zangemann” or other Free Software books
• Reach out to your local hackerspace
(https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces) and ask them to
organise an event together, like a workshop for writing your first line
of code in python, C++, (but please do not choose Java as this would
take ages to write just one line ;) ) or a PGP-Key signing party, or a
Linux-Distributions information event
• …and many more possibilities!
If you want to participate but you want us to help with the first out
reach, please do not hesitate to contact either Tommi (in CC) or myself.
I have in the past worked together with hackerspaces and public
administrations so I at least have some experience in those cases.
For all of you who want to celebrate online we have our
sharepic-generator (https://sharepic.fsfe.org/#ilovefs). Create a
personalised thank you image and share it via social media.
And last but not least: share your love for a Free Software project in a
more personal way, while using our I Love Free Software postcards
(https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.en.html#ilovefs)
Let us support those around us and let us create a wonderful ‘I Love
Free Software Day 2024’ together!
Best,
Tommi and Bonnie
