In the office of the @fsfe with @kirschner!
Crazy to realize that I was an #FSFE intern just 2 years ago, it feels like a much longer time… so much has changed, and maaaybe I also grew up a bit.
We will for sure read Ada & Zangemann at #DWebCamp, and we hope Matthias can come to do it himself!
Long life to #SoftwareFreedom 💕

Unsere #ILoveFS Party hat mega Spaß gemacht. Wir hatten Talks zu Wie können wir Maintainer*innen unterstützen, wie es ist zu contributen und nett miteinander umzugehen beim reporten von Issues und neuen Features. Außerdem gabs Talks zum Plone CMS und was die Community und die geschäftliche Seite ausmacht. Unsere Besucher*innen waren auch sehr eifrig mit Fragen am Start, sodass es viel zu diskutieren gab 😸
In den Lightning Talks (kurze 5 Minuten Slots) haben wir dann noch diese Projekte kennegelernt:
Das Quiz war auch noch eine tolle Gelegenheit mehr zu einigen Maintainer*innen auf die wir uns verlassen zu erfahren - wer es verpasst hat oder noch weiterempfehlen mag, es gibt das I Love Free Software Day 2026 Quiz online (auf Englisch). #FSFE
Our #ILoveFS celebration yesterday turned out really awesome. We had talks about How to support maintainers, what it's like to contribute and how to play nice when reporting issues and proposing changes and some insight into the CMS Plone and the community as well as the business cases behind it. And all of the talks really turned into conversations as we had a really engaged audience 😸
In the lightning talks (quick 5 minute slots) we learned about the following projects:
The quiz was also fun because it was a good excuse to learn more about some of the people we all rely on unknowingly - if you missed it or want to play it with others, be sure to check out the I Love Free Software Day 2026 Quiz web app. #FSFE

FSFE calls for Digital Networks Act to secure Router Freedom EU-wide: users choose own routers vs ISP lock-in. 💻
Fragmented NTP rules block Free Software, enable proprietary firmware/security gaps; demands harmonised physical boundary. 🛡️
Successes in Finland/Germany/Italy; fibre networks fragmented. 🔧

ILFS 2026: Zeus - fork of a fork of a fork – Przemysław „gro” Grondek
I've always found it cute that the #FSFE kind of leverages valentines day, as "I ❤️ Free Software" day.

This year, I kind of want to talk about #FreeBSD, because its powering my personal desktop and laptop these days.
I've run it before as my daily driver, and I've always been impressed by the stability of the base system; alongside ports, which gives you the freedom of choosing between quarterly or bleeding edges packages.
I went back to linux last time, mostly due to a frustration over a lack of electron based apps being unavailable in FreeBSD & issues with Widevine.
Im happy to report, BOTH of these things have really become solved problems on FreeBSD.
There is some stuff which could bear improvement. BUT I've been really heartened and excited too to see the #FreeBSD foundation really tackling things via the Laptop/Desktop Working group.
AND im suspecting, Ill still be daily driving FreeBSD next I ❤️ Free Software Day. #ILoveFS #FLOSS #ILoveFSDay

- All the wonderful GNU tools
- Vim
- @debian
- @golang
- @php
- Caddy and @mholt
- @gohugoio
- KeepassXC (@keepassxc)
- Docker Engine
And to all the other free software projects and those who invest their time in developing and supporting them!
You are truly making the world a better place :ablobcatheart:
Op deze Ik Hou Van Vrije Software Dag zou ik in het bijzonder de bijdragers aan Kaidan willen bedanken. Kaidan is een client-side chatsoftware om via het XMPP protocol met anderen te communiceren. Het project is Vrije Software, wordt uitgegeven door KDE en bestaat al sinds 1999. Voor welk Vrije Software-project bent u dankbaar? https://ilovefs.org
