Free Software is for Everyone
Young and old, rich and poor etc.
The FSF has updated its staff page (Eko K.A. Owen added to the Board section; was not there in months past), which was associated with Heshan de Silva-Weeramuni the other day. They try to raise awareness by helping to organise events:
They call it "LibreLocal", as "LibrePlanet" - at least the mailing list ("discuss") - is pretty much dead and fund-raising drives are stale/inactive at this moment:
No fund-raising campaigns at the moment. Over a week ago we published: Free Software Foundation (FSF) Raised About 1.5 Million Dollars This Winter, Almost 50% More Than in All of 2024 Combined
The article about LibreLocal says: "Meetups were held in Brazil, Canada, the Canary Islands of Spain, China, Croatia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Kenya, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Many of these countries saw organizers hold meetups in multiple different cities, ranging from informal conversations to multi-day conferences. Seeing last year's list of meetups in different countries is inspiring!"
Contrary to what smear claim, Free software is not just for geeks, it's not a cult/religion, and it's not for privileged Yuppies. In fact, the notion that computer users should be in control of their own computers is hardly far-fetched or obscene. █
