The Campaign Manager suggested me to tell my request in more detail. So it is time to tell it.Given the current threats to free software, science, critical thinking etc, perhaps we need to promote what we have in 2025 rather than looking at the past.We need to talk about a topic or one more than topics. Because Free Software Movement is complex and we need to tell to end-users, developers, admins, artists and any other people who likes GNU and Free Software us better. And also we need to be organized. #fsf IRC Channel is a good place for this purpose I guess. Please tell me if there is another option also.I suggest talking about the hacker culture, the rise of it and the MIT hacker school issue and the birth of Free Software Movement and also the birth of copyleft license.Since we have many ideas to talk please let me know what to do and what we can talk more.Thanks and happy hacking !
So we can have discussions around how free software is used in Open ScienceAI is encroaching, do we want big tech in charge or smaller more open solutions (they exist, and work)
https://news.itsfoss.com/open-euro-llm/I know Carmen is working on MissionLibre, but is not ready to launch yet, I do get the feeling sometimes that we keep repeating ourselves, MissionLibre has the potential to onboard the next generation of developers BUT we need to get our act together so if someone asks to help, Projects need to have an easy to follow, friendly, inclusive* on boarding process, something I feel is seriously lacking and causing potential developers / contributors to go elsewhere.
* The current attacks on DEI in the USA are NOT going to help with this in the slightest, so we need to raise OUR game to counter what is going on.
I think there is potential for lots of online workshops using IRC, big blue button and other technologies, we have those tools available just need to make more use of them.
What about previous LibrePlanet speakers can we involve them and get updates on projects for example.
I mentioned this before, but we do have things like hardware, software and document freedom days during the year, can we have events around that.
