On 14 February we celebrated the 'I Love Free Software Day 2025' 
This year we marked this special day with:
19 events in 11 different European countries hundreds of people and many organisations that joined us in the Fediverse with a special "Thank you!" note for Free Software projects and contributors.
To all who joined us this time: "Thank you" for participating in this 15th edition of the "I Love Free Software Day" !
We are still celebrating #ilovefs day with some events in Italy and Albania today!
While we gather all the pictures from the different events, we wanted to share with you an amazing video we received from the mother (and singer) of our colleague @sofiaritz

There are so many ways to say #thankyou to your favourite #FreeSoftware projects, what is yours?
I like the spontaneous nature of the #ILoveFS meetups. Besides the great people of @HSN we got joined by @Scott_Trakker and @paolo from Luxembourg. We sent chat messages and post cards to the great people making #FreeSoftware possible!
Thank you all for celebrating I Love Free Software Day 2025! Your messages, posts, and events have made today truly special. Together, we’ve shown the world that Free Software is not just technology – it’s people, collaboration, and community. 
Let’s keep this spirit alive and let's keep saying THANK YOU to #FreeSoftware contributors.

Happy I Love Free Software Day!
Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.
Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.
This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.
Without further ado, THANK YOU to:
- @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
- @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
- @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
- @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
- @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
- #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
- #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
- @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
- #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
- @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
- @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
- #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
- #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
- @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
- @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
- @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
- @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
- #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
- @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
- #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
- @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
- @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
- #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
- #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
- @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
- @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
- @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
- The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!
Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.
I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

Today is #ilovefs Day and it is time to show your gratitude to all #FreeSoftware contributors around the world. Today, I wanna say #ThankYou to @mastodeck, you make the Mastodon experience so much easier and accessible 
Happy "I love free software" day to all who celebrate. In particular to all the lonely random developers in Nebraska thanklessly maintaining their critical open source project. Thank you!
I say that almost every year. But I love the time the @fsfe website https://fsfe.org turns red for #ilovefs
Thank you @postmarketOS and @mobian for letting Linux on mobile be a real thing and creating wonderful communities around it. Thanks to all contributors I can daily drive a true Linux phone. With initial camera support added recently to the OnePlus 6 and call audio mostly fixed it's a pretty good experience and it will only get better from there.
