Free Software Foundation
This Saturday, September 19th, is the twelfth annual Software Freedom
Day, an international celebration of our favorite thing: free software!

Software Freedom Day means hundreds of fun, educational events, planned
by activists all over the globe using resources provided by the Digital
Freedom Foundation <http://www.digitalfreedomfoundation.org/>. Here's a
map <http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2015> where
you can find an event near you.

Software Freedom Day

Have you encountered a bug in one of your favorite free software
projects, or is there a feature you think might make a project even
better? Let the developers know today by submitting a bug report or
feature request. If you've never done this before, it's easy. Just
review the existing open items first to see if someone else has already
taken action. Many GNU projects, from the LibreJS
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=librejs> Web browser add-on to the
GIMP <http://www.gimp.org/bugs/> image editor, make it easy for users to
submit a bug report for review by developers.

As in past years, the Free Software Foundation encourages the free
software community to spend this holiday introducing a friend to free
software. Our User Liberation
<https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/user-liberation-watch-and-share-our
- -new-video>
video will help explain what free software is and why it's important.
Our Email Self-Defense <https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org> site is a
straightforward guide to email encryption using free software, and the
Free Software Directory <http://directory.fsf.org> is a great place to
browse for free software for specific tasks. You can place these
shareable badges <http://www.fsf.org/resources/badges/> on your social
media account, Web site, or blog to spread the word about free software
online.

If you do submit a bug for Software Freedom Day, tell us about it! Use
your GNU Social, Pump.io, or Twitter account (but read our critique of
Twitter <https://fsf.org/twitter> first) to tell us about it by tagging
us @fsf. We'd love to reshare your effort with the free software
community.

Of course, you can help support, celebrate, and educate others about
free software year-round. The FSF celebrates its 30th anniversary in two
weeks, on Saturday, October 3rd. You can find a birthday event in your
region (or plan one of your own) in our party network
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/FSF30_Party_Network>, or RSVP to our
birthday party <https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=26>
and User Freedom Summit
<https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/event/register?id=27> if you can be in
Boston on October 3rd. And you can wear your free software pride with
our commemorative FSF30 t-shirt
<http://shop.fsf.org/product/fsf-30-shirt/>, available for preorder now.

Free software is worth celebrating every day, but we hope you find a way
to make Software Freedom Day 2015 extra special. Submit a bug report,
teach a friend, or spend some time hacking on your own free software.

As always, happy hacking.
