Spreading the word for #SFD2025

by LM

Just a quick reminder to please use hashtags #SFD2025 or #SoftwareFreedomDay2025 when sharing your Software Freedom Day posts on social media. That way, the DFF will be able to find and boost them. Also, if you have any information you want to get out, feel free to email me or contact me on the #SoftwareFreedomDay channel on Matrix. The DFF can share or like your posts on social media or share information on your events and activities on our social media accounts. I've added a blog page for all things #SFD2025: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/sfd/blog/software-freedom-day-2025-whats-goi… Feel free to share links to your blog posts, pictures, videos or other multimedia related to Software Freedom Day and I'll add them to the page. If there are any virtual events going on that day that I find out about, I'll add them there. I'll try to update the page throughout the day on Saturday the 20th, so there will be one central place to share timely information about Software Freedom Day. Can't believe we're only 6 days away. Hope you all have a successful and fun Software Freedom Day. Thanks for being a part of things this year.

6 days and counting

by LM

We have 6 days until #SoftwareFreedomDay2025. To celebrate, let's all share some of our favorite FLOSS programs. What's your favorite FOSS graphics program? Personally, I can't pick just one. Gimp, Inkscape, Graphicsmagick and Imagemagick are great. As are DarkTable, RawTherapee, MTPaint and TuxPaint. However, some lesser known FLOSS graphics programs I like are GrafX2, LodePaint and I.mage. What FLOSS graphics programs do you use?

science fiction themed Free Software

by LM

I was reading about September 8th being Star Trek day. I've been collecting links to science fiction related FOSS for a while now. Thought it would be fun to share some of them. I ended up listing them here: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/31725.html That way I can just point to one location and share the links and add/update as necessary. Hope all the science fiction fans out there enjoy them.

If you do get something up and streaming, please share the link and I'll try to get the word out about it through the DFF site and social media posts. If you take any pictures or videos of your event, I hope you'll share them as well. Have a wonderful event!

Hi LM and Team-SFD, Thank you for your inspiring posts, tips and motivational focus for SFD25. FYI, we'll soon have our annual Event on the #EndOf10 website where our Place is now amongst the https://endof10.org/places/ Ready now is our https://facebook.com/events/s/software-freedom-day-25/1289783849491849/ So far we haven't any virtual event planned but may get some streaming organized yet. In the past that hasn't proven fruitful as our timezone is the earliest and so far ahead of most other SFD groups (overnight hours in Europe). We'll update later on any jitsi provision we might make.
