Hi Carmen, Mission:Libre is a great project. It seems good to include a link to it at the FLO-kids repo at [1]https://codeberg.org/FLO-Conscience/FLO-kids Would you please find a good place for it and add a description and link in a PR? Also, I didn't see a Git or similar repo for the Mission:Libre content. Surely there is or will be such a thing? And the capacity for people to submit PR's to Mission:Libre itself? Aaron

Just some info about this: "office hours" are casual meetups on Mission:Libre's Jitsi instance at [2]https://meet.missionlibre.org/OfficeHours. The times are usually advertised on my fedi account, @[email protected]. I usually schedule them for 6-7pm UTC on a weekday, but I'm flexible. They're intended mostly for adults, but younger people are welcome too. Some updates about Mission:Libre: ============================= What I've been working on ------------------------- * I recently published Issue 0 of Libre!, Mission:Libre's magazine. It's available here: [3]https://missionlibre.org/libre-issue-0-september-2025. * October's Libre! issue is in the works. In that issue, I give introductions to mass surveillance, online privacy and encryption, talk about how to advocate for your own right to use free software, tour free software for artists, guide readers through rock and pop drum beats with LMMS, give 30 days of mini-tutorials for Python, and show readers how to write a toy RSA implementation. It's going to be huge! * I'm available to help teenagers in small groups and one-to-one. There's more info on what I can do for them here: [4]https://missionlibre.org/happy-to-help. * I've been reaching out to youth organisations outside technology and preparing to pitch articles to publications read by teens. This will take some time to bear fruit, but I've found some really good opportunities to pursue. * I'm working on a new website explaining free software to younger teenagers. (This was meant to be ready in September, but I've had to push it out until October) * I'm planning a series of youth roundtables for November. This will be part online celebration, part opportunity for them to share what they want Mission:Libre's future to be like. How you can help: ---------------- * If you already have Reddit, Hacker News and/or Facebook accounts, please please post about Mission:Libre there. I don't have accounts on any of those, and for obvious reasons you can't just make one for self-promotion. * If you're associated with a youth organisation that might be able to help me spread the word about free software and Mission:Libre, please message me for a copy of the pamphlet I've made especially for you. It briefly explains what free software is, what it has to offer teens, what Mission:Libre is and why I can't do this without your help. * Please consider donating to Mission:Libre at [5]https://missionlibre.org/support-missionlibre. Mission:Libre's annual budget is less than €50,000. Anything you can give will go a long way. Thank you for being so enthusiastic about Mission:Libre! - Carmen _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [6][email protected] [7]https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss References 1. https://codeberg.org/FLO-Conscience/FLO-kids 2. https://meet.missionlibre.org/OfficeHours 3. https://missionlibre.org/libre-issue-0-september-2025 4. https://missionlibre.org/happy-to-help 5. https://missionlibre.org/support-missionlibre 6. mailto:[email protected] 7. https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
