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.

Re: 3 weeks and counting

Sorry about the links and non-text parts in the previous post. That's what I get for copying a post's wording from another post I made instead of going back to the original text. Ignore the links in the previous email. If you want to check out the event map and what's going on where, please see: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/sfd/archive?view=list Also, please feel free to share some of your ideas for planning Software Freedom Day 2025. Hope it's even better than last year.

3 weeks and counting

by LM

We are 3 weeks away from #SoftwareFreedomDay2025 <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/softwarefreedomday2025?__eep__=6&__cft__[0…>. There's room on the map for more events: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/sfd/archive?view=list <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalfreedoms.org%2Fen%2Fsfd…> They don't have to be large. They can be small. They can in person. They can be virtual. They can be hybrid. They don't have to be on Sept 20th. They can occur on a date that's convenient for you and the attendees. If you don't currently have an event in your area, please consider creating one. You might meet some new friends who also enjoy Free Software. If you are hosting an event in your area, please feel free to post some details about it on our mailing list. It might inspire others to create their own event or give other teams some ideas. Also, let me know if you've posted anything about it on social media. The DFF can boost your posts. The DFF can also share posts about your events on our social media accounts. You can share information about your events or event planning on the DFF blog as well. Is anyone hosting anything virtual this year? If so, we'd like to try to highlight it for people who may not have an event in their area but would still like to participate in some way. Hope you all have a wonderful Software Freedom Day 2025.
