Mission Libre

Posted on 2025-05-13 by Paul Sutton

Mission Libre

Mission:Libre is a new, independent project for teens all over the world who love free software. We aim to help teens learn about software freedom and develop the skills they’ll need as they become tomorrow’s contributors and activists. Mission:Libre will help spread the word about free software.

Early days with this yet, but the idea is ambitious and innovative. Hopefully this will be successful.

There are lots of projects, resources and tutorials out there and any inititive to help bring people together under a common cause is always welcome.

Lets see what happens and if there will hhe a few people from the South west getting involved with this.
